If the cmr/stac query code is in the server, at least as an option, then clients that don't have the same support for earthdata access can still function. For example, if the cmr code existed on the server (say in a lua function), then the node.js client would not have to implement the functions needed to query cmr - it could just send the entire request to the sliderule cluster and wait for the response.
