I'm sure it is technically possible. It might mean changes to fsck or even the kernel, but, for example, under Windows I can run chkdsk read-only even on a read-write mounted FS. I can even defragment that FS while it's mounted read-write. IMHO, this is a highly desired improvement to the current behavior which draws users away (friends who saw fsck on my laptop called Linux stupid and asked me why I don't just use Windows).
