I'm not sure there's room for an abstract...I think it's more useful  
as a citation summary, but with a template you could do whatever you  
want.  I've wanted something like this when I'm using the web group,  
so I can hide the detail preview and gain vertical space.  It likely  
won't happen since Christiaan doesn't like it, and I don't feel like  
arguing about it.
