The problem with subsurface scattering via media is that the light still 
passes through in a straight line. The light isn't made diffuse after 
exiting the object, so all you get on the other side are objects that 
have clean shadows. I can only imagine how long a render would take with 
radiosity and media coupled together! This trick actually simulates the 
effect rather accurately, as far as I can tell.
But I know you must just be kidding, because who would want another 
person to endure a month-long render? ;)
