In texi2html, there is a possible special handling of a document 
consisting of only one section. However, it won't solve the issue
here since the <book> element is opened and closed at the beginning
and at the end of the page, and the corresponding functions are  
called in any case.

I'll see what I can do, it will certainly amounts to passing the 
information that there is only one section to the functions formatting
the page header and page footer.

Putting it in the texi2html TODO.

In texi2html xml output there is no corresponding abstract element.
I guess I didn't had a document that produced one when processed by 
makeinfo --xml.
