The current approach to the app's URLs uses hardcoded paths to XQuery main modules (like browse.xq) and named query parameters (like ?base-id=...&snapshot-id=). An earlier iteration used controller.xql for cooler URLs, but I found this hard to maintain, so I reverted to the approach described above.

With the advent of https://github.com/eeditiones/roaster, we now have a much cleaner way to define an application's URLs, as separate from the underlying XQuery module organization.

To "Roasterize" this app would mean defining the known endpoints in an OpenAPI JSON file and rerouting all requests in controller.xql into Roaster's handler query.

Initially, I'll just support existing URLs and requests, but in the future we can use Roaster to add more capabilities to the app.
