I do SHUTDOWN ABORT all the time, and I haven't seen corruption caused by it since probably Oracle 7. It is best to issue the "ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT" command first, but this may not be possible if the database is hung. I have seen many situations where a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE simply would not complete.

In all the docs I read for 10g (read: certification prep guides), shutdown abort is still treated like a leper. I'm pretty surprised by this thread so far.
