Could this be applied to Chrome V8 for Javascript memory garbage collection?

That should be an ideal application. Usually the trouble with 3rd-party garbage collection is that it has to discern pointer vs. any other machine word. That's more of a problem with C; this is why the Boehm GC library calls itself "conservative". A runtime like V8 can follow a spec when it allocates memory so everything is properly marked.
