I do not want to have every invitation that I accept to show my time as
"busy" or "out of office". I would prefer to be able to establish my "show
time as" feature independently with each invite, at the time I accept the
invitation, without having to go to my calendar, find the event, open the
event, establish the "show time as" and then save the event.

You can already do that. On the invitation, there should be a "Open
Calendar" button. Click it. This should show you the appointment as
tentative. You can open the item and change the "show time as", Category,
reminder time, and, I think, label. Close the item and say "yes" to the
prompt. Then go back to the invitation and accept it. It seems to work for
me.
