[Taco: The reference to Knuth below comes out as (Knuth, 1981c) even though there are no other 1981 entries for Knuth cited in the text. Is that hard to fix given ConTeXt's way of dealing with bibtex, in that it just incorporates the entire database, in which there are several 1981 entries from Knuth?]
Problematic. There is a small bit of influence possible: the `c' is inside macro (\maybeyear) that could be redefined (nullified), but that is a document-global solution, and it may not even work too well at that. It's been a long time since I looked at this problem. It is not totally unsolvable, but definately not simple either.
Taco, 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?
