Actually, I have been using the principle you are describing in FasTrak utilities for about three years, I believe. It is quite handy as you can do multiplies by adding and subtracting exponents. Also, it make the computation of LCMs and GCDs much simpler. I haven't tried to apply the principle to non-ji scales though.
