Oh, I think it's doable; the question is how much the memory overhead for the extra processes is.
I agree that doing this for script (and style) data is much harder from a conceptual point of view! On the other hand, the protections there are already much weaker: once you are running the script, you can find out all sorts of things about it based on its access patterns to various globals and built-in objects (which you control).
