So we apparently want to support options like `pop-up-windows' and
`pop-up-frames' forever. The proposed behavior from strongest to
weakest is therefore
(1) An overriding argument set by the application.
(2) The user setting for `special-display-regexps' (including regexps
matching _any_ buffer).
(3) A non-overriding argument set by the application.
(4) Vague global preferences like `pop-up-windows'.
Shall applications continue to bind `pop-up-windows' and `pop-up-frames'
as they do now? I suppose where they do now they should use (1) or (3)
instead.

You mean all cases where the buffer argument of `switch-to-buffer' names
an existing buffer (probably all of them do, but I didn't check).
