Apologies for not having read far enough up the thread before replying.

Having done so now, I guess I'd just offer one small point: the upthread
discussion did mention that 'occurrence' was used by Oracle, and asked
"if you're not following Oracle slavishly, exactly what is the argument
in its favor?".

Nothing else upthread seems to have mentioned that OCCURRENCE is the
exact keyword used in ISO SQL for the analogous argument in analogous
functions. Maybe that won't have any effect on the outcome either, but
it does seem worth getting into the thread.
