If I'm not overlooking a hitch, you can do that now with the 
contributed package org-special-blocks. Just put

(require 'org-special-blocks)

in your .emacs.

The HTML abstract won't look like anything special until you style it, 
it will just be wrapped in a <div class="abstract"> element. Here are 
some sample style lines for your org document header (without line wraps):

#+STYLE: <style>.abstract {margin: 1em; padding: 1em; border: 1px 
solid black}
#+STYLE: .abstract:before {content: "ABSTRACT: ";}</style>

I'm all for using custom links to extend inline markup, but this is 
block-level, and thus handily extensible with org-special-blocks.
