Great idea, Richard. Thanks!
I'll try it on each imputation and the full dataset and hope for consistent
results.

In cases like this, I wonder how horrible it would be to, say, test
the IIA assumption on each imputed data set separately. Sure, the
numbers wouldn't be exactly right, but it is, after all, a diagnostic
test. If you are lucky the data sets will all clearly pass the test
or all fail it. If somebody knows how to do it exactly right, then
great, but barring that i don't think it would be too horrible to
improvise a bit. There are a lot of things still being ironed out
with multiple imputation, so reasonable improvisations may be better
than doing nothing at all.
Of course, the mlogtest code (part of Long and Freese's spost
package) is there for everyone to see, so someone might be able to
adapt it for the multiple imputation situation.
