I've mentioned this before, but hooks are also callbacks, you could  
make the node
form register them automatically.

ie:
if (function_exists($node->type . '_validate')) {
   $form['#validate][$node->type . '_validate'] = array();
}
foreach (module_implements('nodeapi') as $module) {
   $form['#validate'][$module . '_nodeapi'] = array('validate');
}

that would remove all unneccesary form alters, but would require the  
function definition of node api to change.
