The more abstract pattern is that Schema has avoided the idea of a descendent changing the meaning of an element. "If the paragraph contains footnote references, it's a document-para and not an abstract-para" is in some ways equivalent to "paragraphs within the abstract cannot contain footnote references" in a less declarative sort of way, but generally much more painful to think about in editing and manipulating and generally processing.
