But the problem in 3.8.x (and before) was that this new URL had NO parameters at all. At least I didn't figure out how to get any of the image options - not even the image itself. So to me altURL was compeletely useless and I resorted to XCLASSing.

OK, there is a point in providing a new vale for eID. But this repplaced eID-scricpt should either get the default params or there must be a hook/config to provide a new set of params (image, size, etc)
