That would be a good start.

Let's first at least say that module developers whose modules use 
module_invoke or module_invoke_all to invoke a hook ought to document 
the hook in the first place. My non-scientific sample* of a few found 
zero that did.

* Go to drupalcontrib.org, find the module_invoke or module_invoke_all 
function, and click through to some of the functions in contrib that 
call those two functions. Then search for the name of the implied 
hook. Find nothing. Of course, maybe drupalcontrib.org is not indexing 
*.api.php files, or I'm missing something?
