Indeed we are, and so the answer seems to be that yes, we could leave it 
to the class to determine the presence or absence of the Abstract 
(depending on what was set as the default).

In which case, I'd suggest leaving the abstract visible in the default 
article, leaving it to be turned off in various classes where it's not 
appropriate.

What do you (and anybody else) think of 
http://rlandmann.fedorapeople.org/artdemo/ as a default article now?
