An "abuse-c:" attribute is only required in an ORGANISATION object if it 
is referenced by a resource object. So the wording in this revised web 
interface may be a bit confusing to users. It would be better if you do 
a check on the specified ORGANISATION object and only display this 
warning if this object should have an "abuse-c:" reference.
