An opinion from an OSM neophyte Abstain should mean just that .. either no vote .. or a blank vote..
It is important to understand why someone chooses to abstain instead of voting against a proposal. An abstainer has serious reservations about a specific detail of the proposal, but believes the goal of what the author is trying to achieve is noble. Maybe it makes sense to change abstain to "no, but pls pursue" ? The goal should stay substance over form .. where proposals for tagging a feature that do not belong in OSM get canned, mediocre proposals for something worth mapping improved, and good one's pass with broad adoption.
