Using Outbound Message Session ID with REST API

Can the Session ID that is passed with Workflow Outbound Messaging be used with REST?  Any challenges associated with this?  Thanks.

Since the SessionID, which allows for a call-back into Salesforce without needing to authenticate first, can be sent with the SOAP message, then the outbound
message can be used to simply kick-off the required action.
