It does make sense, but probably not when there is no TODO keyword.
Also, your sentence is inaccurate: you see it _once_ in the past, not
every others day.

This is orthogonal to the issue. There's a dedicated variable for that:
`org-agenda-show-future-repeats'.

See above.

Anyway, that doesn't answer my question about what should be done for
_past and present_ occurrences. 

If no one objects, I'll just implement the behaviour quoted above.
