Hello,

The problem is that your initial suggestion make it impossible, common
or not.

As it is, it is symmetric with M-RET and M-S-RET on headlines. E.g., in
the following document

  * TODO Stuff|

where "|" is point, M-RET results in

  * TODO Stuff
  * 

i.e., no TODO added. I find it straightforward.
