Thanks for the presentation, Richard. Nicely done.
I will punt this request to Stata (who claim to monitor the listserve).
Perhaps Stata can add a gen() option to -margins-, especially if they intend
to phase out -adjust- in a future version

Hardly anything disappears forever in Stata. If nothing else, you
could probably add a -version 10- command to the top of your code.
Also see slide 29 of http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/stats/Margins01.pdf
for an example of how to compute adjusted predictions and marginal
effects for individual cases using Stata 11 or 12. A -gen- function
for margins is on my personal wish list.
