Tony,
it was I who did that research since at the time I had a '97 S6 and a 
'98 A4 side by side in the stable.

The good news is the '98 -> forward switchblade will work in the RF 
controlled S6.
The bad news is the range will become laughable.

Conversely, the S6 remote had effectively doubled the range when paired 
with the A4, but who would want to trade the switchblade remote for a 
dongle.

In a word: regretfully I scrapped the idea.
