I'm missing something--what's the problem with extending Enumerated AVPs in this context?

I recognize that we don't want new applications to change the set of values in Enumerated AVPs defined by another application. But that's not what we're talking about here. Why couldn't we, for example, create an Enumeration for DOIC that is intended to be extensible, and maybe even has an IANA registry?

(But for the record, I'm fine with Unsigned64).
