E.g., "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W?edition=" keeps the query string to ‘become’ "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W?edition=" rather than "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W" (see https://musicbrainz.org/edit/102379567 manually cleaning it after-the-fact).

Additionally, "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W/Harrow_the_Ninth?edition=key%3A/books/OL29831093M" becomes "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W/" rather than "https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20723256W" (ie., without a trailing "/") which seems to be the "canonical" URL format used by Open Library (e.g., on https://archive.org/details/colourofmagic00prat the OL edition and work links both do not have the trailing slash).
