My understanding is that creating a function called

mymodule_invoke_dosomething()

will cause Drupal (via module_invoke_all() ?) to call functions in other 
modules called othermodule_dosomething()

Is there another step in hook creation that I'm missing?

I agree - I'm just wondering if we (maybe me) could automate the 
creation of the hook_nodapi page.

- and at the same time look for functions that are implementations of 
the hook so that the hook_nodapi references has links to all the places 
the hook is used.

This would be especially useful for my use of the API module on sites I 
work on - where I would be able to look (for example) for all the places 
  the site uses hook_form_alter().
