It varies by carrier. For AA 001 e-tickets, OPEN segments are allowed. Most reps aren't familiar with them, though, but tariff should be able to help them.
Incidentally, eons ago I looked into open segments and concluded that it's best to have tickets with bogus closed dates far away; I think it had to do with what happens if the airline withdraws from the market, but I can't really remember exactly.
