I wasn't sure if JRR or BRR methods were valid for quantiles?
 
I meant to say earlier, survey is a really great package, much better than anything out there.  Thanks for developing it.

And the survey package does already have JK1, JKn, BRR, and Fay's method:
you can convert a survey.design object with design information to a
svrep.design object with replicate weights and proceed a la WesVar.

I've added a svrepquantile function, which will be in a new release soon
-- I need to finish revising it for JSS.
