IMHO if someone has not yet voted it is not an abstention until the period
over. 

There is another reason not to end voting prematurely:
People might not have taken the time yet, to look at the issue. Still
they might find some problem with the proposal  once they do take the
time. Maybe others have until then not realised the particular corner
case that is problematic and might even change their vote once they
are enlightened.

Ergo, I would not like votes ending before either the voting period is
over (or all have vote, which seems quite rare).
