That's fine if you are dealing with point-to-point communication.  If you
are a publisher, though, you have to make such decisions unilaterally,
because efficiencies of scale require that you not offer separately
negotiated contracts to each buyer (except perhaps in price, and most
of the time not even in price).

$EMPLOYER, for example, has a department concerned with the maintenance
of code lists in the range of 100 to 100,000 code elements.  Internal
negotiation is done on who's responsible for smaller code lists,
the code list department or the schema department (to which I belong).
Consequently, it's common for schemas to contain obviously extensible but
short code lists like "book, collection, anthology, monograph, article".
