Re:Chrome will aggressively throttle background tabs

i don't think that would work.
request for location doesn't require the page to explicitly indicate a desire, the request is triggered if the page attempts to use the location services of the JS API. sites that want to run unthrottled can't be identified simply by the usage of a certain API, so the developer would need to add something explicitly to their markup to indicate the desire.
i want control over the feature regardless of whether or not the site's developer deems it appropriate.
