[ESS] using tramp for remote machine processes

Hi,
Are there any problems with using TRAMP tools to start and interact with
a process on a remote machine, rather than ess-remote? I find it much
more convenient to do the following:
C-x C-f R-mode-file RET
M-x R RET
/scp:remotehost:/path/to/working-directory/ RET
than starting a remote shell (with ssh, as the ESS manual shows) and
using ess-remote. In fact, one might even specify the ssh protocol in
the TRAMP path specification above. If I'm not overlooking some problem
with this, wouldn't this be a good pointer to have in the manual?
Cheers,
