Re: IMPORTANT: Abstract Rewrite, Draft #2

Well done!

Nits:

Current: "all without relying on additional on-screen widgets”
Proposed: "all without requiring additional on-screen widgets”
Justification: While it’s important to state here there is no need for an on-screen widget, this overshoots the mark a bit IMHO

Current: There is a paragraph break in the abstract
Proposed: No paragraph break.
Justification: Paragraph breaks are not the norm in an abstract. Abstracts are expected to be condensed, and to move rapidly from topic to topic. The additional white space will not aid the reader very much and goes against convention.
