ENUM also would need to be changed every time something is added.
Few choices to be made:
1) How large is the space (10ths, 100ths, 1000ths?) - I don't know.
2) Using some existing scheme like MIME? OIDs? What are the options here?
3) Is there any kind of hierarchy there? What are the relationships between
types?
4) What registration model should be?
For example, registering OIDs can be free (under 1.3.6.1.4.1) and is
hierarchical. IANA is registering simple integer values for some standards.
Using UUIDs gives opportunity for anybody to generate a value themselves and
still there is a pretty good chance it will be unique (I just generated
470b7557-bb8a-11e1-be32-001b77bca544 for fun).
MIME is used by email.
OIDs are used by protocols like LDAP, SNMP and everything using ASN.1 (like
many security protocols)
UUIDs are used to specify interfaces in some protocols
