I don't know of any such a function in OSB. If I needed that now, I would probably have to split date into its components, add to year (as a number) and then again compose new date from components. Maybe something like this:
xquery version "1.0" encoding "UTF-8";
declare namespace xf = "http://com.mycompany/xquery/add-year";
declare function xf:pad($input as xs:integer)
    as xs:string {
        if ($input < 10)
        then
            fn:concat('0', $input)
        else
            xs:string($input)
declare function xf:add-to-year($date as xs:date, $years as xs:integer)
    as xs:date {
     xs:date(fn:concat(fn:year-from-date($date)+$years, '-', xf:pad(fn:month-from-date($date)), '-', xf:pad(fn:day-from-date($date))))
xf:add-to-year(fn:current-date(), 3)What an ugly thing! :-) Hope somebody around knows something better ...
