Tell them that (if they are really lazy) you can build them a function that returns ref cursor with Code, description columns and they pass in the domain/context they want - same for the inserts - so you can get rid of their comments. To be sincere, I use combination - separate look-up tables for the entity related types, statuses etc and one for generic stuff like boolean i.e. if site uses 1,0 or Y/N or TRUE/FALSE and date/time formats etc. which does not map to any particular entity/object.
