I expect it would be possible, but the Javascript interpreter really isn't the issue that people on this thread are concerned about. After all, Elinks, Edbrowse, etc., all use Mozilla's Javascript library. The problem is with all those Web APIs that have to be implemented within the browser: Document Object Model, XMLHTTPRequest, HTML5 APIs, Aria, etc. There are only two open implementations of the above, namely Mozilla Gecko and WebKit. I do not expect a third implementation to arise unless there is a good reason for it that can attract a large community of developers.
