And would <abstract/> follow EAC's data model at this point? I'm assuming so, so I will add it that way to start, but if that's incorrect, just add a new checklist item to the ticket.

[kerstarno]

Ideally, yes. It would be decided together with <p> etc (#47).

[karinbredenberg]

Renaming of elements is not implemented in all cases yet. Removal of elements have not been implemented yet. These elements have in the cases of altFormAvail, legalStatus and orginalsLoc had the abstract element implemented.

The testing of implementation of abstract is thus ready.
