st: Beta values in QREG

Does anyone know if there is a statistical reason why the Stata quantile
regression program "qreg" does not provide an option for producing beta
values? I know a question about beta values in qreg was raised just a few
months ago, and the one response suggested that there might be a statistical
reason why the option wasn't available, but I didn't see anything more
definitive.
I did try standardizing all of my variables and re-running QREG, as had been
previously suggested, but the results between the unstandardized and
standardized models seem so different I'm not sure if I did something wrong
or if there's a more fundamental reason why the results don't line up.
Thanks for any advice.
