It's been awhile, so I don't remember what the results were like.  I tried using the hair node along with a transmap, back in 2005 when I was developing the current shader I'm using.  I didn't like the results and actually ended up integrating a velvet node into the shader, instead.  But now I've decided (belatedly) that the results aren't very good.  Hmm.

I think maybe the problem was that there were pronounced differences in how the hair node shader rendered in Firefly vs. P4 render mode.  I tend to do a lot of renders with the old P4 renderer, because I am perpetually behind the technology curve and my poor 'puter is slow to Firefly....
