I think I am converging towards having a new 'babel: ' URL scheme.

Requests like colorization, inserting version control information etc on
export rightfully falls under one-off request and a babel: URL scheme
would help achieve all these without any hassles.

In 'babel: ' URLs, the 'path' param is likely to contain a call-site
(srcname) and key,val pairs (for named params). I think one can use or
draw inspiration from standard http URL encoders that posts HTML forms.

My ideas are not fully formed and I refine as I go along... Please be
tolerant.
