I created an abbreviation for Javascript mode; it works fine in a *.js buffer, but I find that it doesn't work within a Javascript block embedded in an *.html or *.hta buffer. Shouldn't mode-specific abbreviations work correctly within a delegated mode just as syntax highlighting does?

Is there some way for the user to make this work, or is this an ability that jEdit does not have yet?

Workarounds:
1. Copy the javascript abbreviations to the html mode.
2. Create the abbreviations in the global mode instead.

Both these approaches, of course, negate the principle of configuring each mode independently.
