I have macros to insert marginal notes to the right of points in my text
(they use vadjust and work fine). The book has now been accepted by the
publisher, so I have to clean up my TeX... In particular, I'd like the
marginal notes to appear in the left margin in lefthand pages, and the
right in righthand pages. 

This appears to be hard. The TeXBook's nearest hint is to set up a new
insertion type, but this means that all of the notes appear at the top
of the margin; not what I want. It can be done in LaTeX, but I don't
want to convert to LaTeX, and the macros are opaque to my gaze and do
unspeakable things to output routines.
			
You can't just change things in headline, of course, as the top of the
next page is already set by then. I can't think of a way to expand
macros while the page is being shipped out, which would work. Maybe
something to do with marks....

Any ideas?
