The Joseki query processor is a servlet and dispatch is done by the web container (Jetty, Tomcat etc) and that's by the URL without the query string.  Having the static content managed by the web container normal static content handling, meaning the dynamic part (the query processor) does not have to do anything in particular is clearcut.

I'm trying to get my head around conneg proposal by examining an
interaction with a Joseki endpoint E (<http://example.org/sparql>).
While users go to E.html, queries would be E?query=blah and
service descriptions are about E.

SPARQL client C wants to see how much service E costs / CPUsecond.
C GETs E Accept: application/sparql-desc+xml  or  +ttl
I guess the response either includes
  E cost:pricePerCPUsecond "10000"^^cost:euros .
or
  E sd:url <http://example.org/details>
which then includes that assertion. What are the arguments for the
extra indirection?
