yppdb is available on PLaneT, but I think it requires a currently
broken package. I will be shortly publishing a few other applications
on PLaneT.

send/suspend/dispatch is always provided via (require (lib
"servlet.ss" "web-server")) in v300.

I don't know about the code in the article, if it still works.

How does this look to you?

(define other-items (list ...))
(define (page prefs number items)
 (let ([items/limit (list-take number items)])
  (send/suspend/dispatch
   (lambda (embed/url)
    `(html
      (body
       (ul ,@(map (make-item->xexpr prefs embed/url)
                        items/limit))
       (ul (li (a ([href ,(embed/url
                              (lambda _ (page (modify-prefs prefs)
number items)))])
                "Modify Prefs"))
            (li (a ([href ,(embed/url
                              (lambda _ (page prefs (add1 number) items))])
                "More items"))
            (li (a ([href ,(embed/url
                              (lambda _ (page prefs number (swap
other-items items))))])
                "Other list")))))))))
