Mike's explanation was:
Again, I understand this in the abstract; I just don't get the specifics behind the verbs "generating" and "working with" here.
How am I generating this "copy", in other words? Should I, for example, be using the new temporary tree functionality? Within the context of a variable? Something else?
I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand this :-)

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.
OK. I understand this conceptually, but I never understood how to create -- and to access -- this "intermediate version".
Mike's explanation was:
It may be simplest to start by generating a copy of the bibliography in which the list of authors (Doe and Jones) and the year/serial (1999b) appear as additional computed child elements or attributes, and then working with this copy.
