FWIW there are equivalent IR representations that are based on 
continuation passing 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form):

«SSA is formally equivalent to a well-behaved subset of CPS 
(excluding non-local control flow, which does not occur when CPS 
is used as intermediate representation), so optimizations and 
transformations formulated in terms of one immediately apply to 
the other.»
