Nathanael,
There are no other codes/abbreviations available under opening_hours. 
The provision of the free text mode was I believe just for such 
occasions - including "By Appointment".
While errors will occur they should be easy to check and correct. Even 
codes will contain the occasional error.

Speaking of errors ...
While making my changes to the Australian page 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines

I note the follow things ...

There was the suggestion that the entire sports ground area should be 
tagged with leisure=pitch .. but the OSM wiki page on that says it is 
for the playing area ONLY. I have corrected this.

There is also the suggestion that the name= tag be used to signify the 
sport played .. if the name is not known. Again this goes against 
general OSM practice.
As the sport played should be signified by the sport= tag .. and the 
name tag should only be used for the name. I have left this for the moment.
