Mari,
You should also look at:

Koenker, R., & Machado, J. (1999). Goodness of fit and related inference processes for quantile regression. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 94(448),1296–1310.http://isc.temple.edu/economics/Econ616/Quantile/JASA1999.pdf

Just never forget that the index is quantile-specific rather than global over the whole conditional distribution, thus not analogous to the conventional R-square.
