I just ran into the same question. When using a citation style that doesn't quote the year (like refcommand=num), it seems more logical to drop the maybeyear letter. It seems to work setting
\def\maybeyear{\gobbleoneargument}
I haven't seen any side effects yet, but maybe I'm missing something. Would it be possible to make this behavior a global option/value?
The problem with redefining \maybeyear is that it affects all citations equally: when you have three Knuth records with the same year and two Tuftes with the same year in the database, then if you use only one of Knuths but both Tuftes, you can no longer see which one of the Tuftes you were citing. I could add an interface setting, so that you would do not have to resort to using \def, but it would be much better if I could fix the problem internally. Needs some thinking, though Taco
