I've always changed fluid by just opening all the bleeder valves and letting the fluid drain out while keeping the master cylinder reservoir topped off. Works great. Haven't fooled with the brakes on the Escape yet.
I have no idea if your method works because I haven't done that to any of my cars. However as far as I understand it there is only ONE difference in the physical brake system. You do have to set it up somehow so the brakes don't try to repressurize when you are servicing them. I'm not quite sure off the top of my head if you pull a fuze or what but its in the manual.
