Actually, DocBook has long used this "other" method to extend some
enumerated attribute values.
On section elements:
renderas="other"
otherrenderas="..."
On <orgname>:
class="other"
otherclass="..."
On <biblioid>, <citebiblioid>, <bibliosource>, <bibliorelation>
class="other"
otherclass="..."
On <bibliorelation>:
type="othertype"
othertype="..."
There are others as well.
In the case of admonitions, the original DocBook authors chose to use
separate elements for the different types, instead of a single element
with an enumerated attribute. It is too late now to switch. I
generally suggest adding @role to one of the existing elements, or
extend the schema.

For the curious, here's what the DITA 1.3 specification allows for the @type
attribute on <note> (second subsection on this page):

The value "other" allows extensibility in conjunction with another attribute
@othertype:
