I don't use ASP, so I have no idea of what this implies, or if it will 
work. It's certainly the right URI syntax.

That's the correct method. How are you passing the value into the XSLT? 
If it's via the ASP URI above, you may need some extra programming to 
make the value pass through...consult an ASP guru for this.

To test if the value is being passed, add in the relevant template:

<xsl:message>
   <xsl:text>Got eID value "</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="$eID"/>
   <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:message>

I'd get the value-passing working first.
