Sarah,
According to my build information, the conversion stylesheet does the following:
The eadid text is normalized and cut for the @identifier value. Text is concated in front of the string 'hdl:loc'. The value of the eadid string is cut from the last character counting backwards. The variable $urn_x_1 is the number of characters from the last character to the second dot. The Library of Congress best practices uses handles for their urn value and eadid text. The user can choose to use, change or not use the syntax for the eadid variable as given here.
The @identifier value is infact the result of parsing the EADID node content.
As a test the following occured converting the dry-run EAD archivista.sgm.
EAD 1.0:
<EADID
SYSTEMID="DLC"
SOURCE="DLC"
ENCODINGANALOG="856$u"
TYPE="URI"
>http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.ms001099</EADID>
EAD 2002:
<eadid
mainagencycode="dlc"
countrycode="us"
identifier="hdl:loc.mss/eadmss.ms001099"
encodinganalog="856$u"
>http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.ms001099</eadid>
Conversion stylesheet: v1v2002_4.xsl
Acuated by: SAX_2002_01.bat
Please send me a sample EAD 1.0 from you collection so I can change the conversion to suit your institution.

Subject: publicid in EAD2002 conversion
Hello,
We are in the process of converting our guides to EAD2002 using the LC
Toolkit. We will be using the publicid as the unique identifier as we did
in v1.0; however, the conversion process does not move the public identifier
from the tag content to the publicid attribute. I'm guessing this is
because LC uses the identifier attribute not publicid as the unique
identifier, but I did not see a mention of the public identifier move in the
other conversion tool either.
Is there a way to address this in the conversion process? If anyone else
has encountered this issue, I would appreciate hearing your solution. I
have been going through the conversion documentation and stylesheet to no
avail, but please let me know if there's something I've overlooked.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
