| Why not check whether there is an abstract and if not omit the div?
| <xsl:if test="$content-abstract/div[@class='abstract']/*">
| <xsl:copy-of
|          select="$content-abstract/div[@class='abstract']"/>
| </xsl:if>

You see, this is where I am still catching up with XSL, I didn't think
of solving it that way. Thanks. For the time being though, I moved
my abstract and am using it for something else at the moment. It might
be good to inlcude it somewhere as a commented out example.
Where should it go as an example ?
