[plt-scheme] Requests in plt-web-server

Jens advice is good, but your problem is much simpler: You're using
quasiquote wrong.

should be

>      `(html
>        (body (p ,(format "~a" (request-bindings initial-request))))))))

Notice the "," before the "(format" -- this is the `antiquote' that
evaluates the expression and splices in the result.
