At LC, our EADID is the same as the handle, so we encode as:
<eadid
mainagencycode="dlc" countrycode="us" identifier="hdl:loc.mss/eadmss.ms007002" encodinganalog="856$u">
http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.ms007002</eadid>
and use the stylesheet to display text on the title page:
Finding aid URL: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.ms003055
Hope this helps!
