Sorry for taking 3 years to reply...

The discussion at http://emacsen.org/2005/09/26-javascript mentions the
current "best" as js2.el.  I was about to add it to emacs-goodies-el but
noticed that it is packaged in testing and sid as "js2-mode".

js2-mode is not heavily maintained and so would be a good candidate for
inclusion into emacs-goodies-el rather than taking up a package for a
single file.  But I won't do the equivalent of highjacking it.

As for the others, they are now here:

 http://www.brgeight.se/emacs_modes.php

css-mode.el - Syntactic highlighting, automatic indentation and filling of
    comments for cascading style sheets

->  Emacs23 already has a css-mode.el.


oberon.el - Syntactic highlighting, automatic indentation and filling of
    comments for Oberon source code

-> I don't know what oberon is... 

paren-glint.el - Provides highlighting of matching parentheses with a
    configurable timeout after which the highlighting will go away.

-> paren-glint.el is interesting and might be worth packaging.  It
   times-out the highlighted matched parenthesis.

Comments?
