`------------------------------------------
Should not `abort` empty the control-flow stack and the floating-point stack (like it does for the data stack)? The specification does not say anything about that.

The control-flow and floating-point stack were allow to be united with the data stack in Forth-94, therefore it was difficult to empty one and not empty another, when they are united.  So, this was probably missed in Forth-94.

Typically, `abort` empties all three of these stacks.
