| ``disambiguate-add-year-suffix`` [Step (4)] | |
| If set to "true" ("false" is the default), an alphabetic year-suffix is | |
| added to ambiguous cites (e.g. "Doe 2007, Doe 2007" becomes "Doe 2007a, Doe | |
| 2007b") and to their corresponding bibliographic entries. The assignment of | |
| the year-suffixes follows the order of the bibliographies entries, and | |
| additional letters are used once "z" is reached ("z", "aa", "ab", ..., "az", | |
| "ba", etc.). By default the year-suffix is appended to the cite, and to the | |
| first year rendered through ``cs:date`` in the bibliographic entry, but its | |
| location can be controlled by explicitly rendering the "year-suffix" variable | |
| using ``cs:text``. If "year-suffix" is rendered through ``cs:text`` in the | |
| scope of ``cs:citation``, it is suppressed for ``cs:bibliography``, unless | |
| it is also rendered through ``cs:text`` in the scope of ``cs:bibliography``, | |
| and vice versa. | |

The description of "disambiguate-add-year-suffix" should only discuss the reason for disambiguation if it differs from the reason for the other disambiguation options. Any shared requirements that activate disambiguation should be discussed in the introduction of the disambiguation section of the spec.
Would it be correct to say that, for all disambiguation methods, except for "disambiguate-add-givenname" with "givenname-disambiguation-rule" set to "all-names", "all-names-with-initials", "primary-name", or "primary-name-with-initials", disambiguation is performed to create an unambiguous link between the cite and the target bibliographic entry?
Yes. In those four cases, adding initials or full given names is more aggressive than strictly necessary for resolving cite/bib ambiguities. If one were to be picky, it would be a little more accurate to say "disambiguation is performed only when needed to create an unambiguous link between the cite and the target bibliographic entry".
I'll have to think about it a bit more.
