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?

Best

Thomas
