I think you need to use Mike's suggestion of building an intermediate
version of the bibliography. Use the grouping method to create copies
of the <mods> elements, adding a "year" attribute (or something) that
holds the appropriate year + suffix. Then, when generating the
bibliography or list of citations, you only need to pull in the value
of this 'year' attribute.

I haven't got time to go into more detail right now, but hopefully
that will get you on track.

Cheers,

Jeni
