For <= two windows per frame users there's a difference: If the *Occur*
buffer appeared in a new window, the other window would be reused with
your approach.  If we delete the *Occur* window first, the other window
would be split.

Not really.  I use M-RET for going to the tag around `point'.  It has
some kind of "come on, get there ..." connotation for me.

I'm not sure.  People with two side-by-side windows would probably like
to split-below their window on the right for calendar-like things that
take fairly few columns only.  We need some framework for specifying
such behavior in a user-friendly way.  Well, they could use side-windows
already ...
