Put another way, what is the rationale behind having e.g.:
y=2005a instead of y=2005 and: \pubyear{2005\maybeyear{a}} instead of \pubyear{2005} ?
The suffixes are needed because otherwise author,year styles cannot differentiate between different publications by one author in the same year. The actual implementation is a bit clumsy because it was mimicked incompletely from bibtex.
Another minor question: why are the text contents of the abstract field hard-wrapped ?
Because they were so in the original bib file. Taco
