Martin, Though Bryce introduced the "abstain" option with a nice pictogram :) I don't remember seeing it used in any proposals. Therefore currently there is no mathematical difference. Therefore I suggest that you just change the rule from "74 % approval" to "not more than 25 % objection". Since we are in the process of discussing abandoning the approval process all together, we can revisit the numbers. But since you seem to have a strong opinion and sound reasoning, I'd just implement the change you suggest now and wait for someone to tell you why it's a bad idea.
