There are quite a few of the internal APIs documented at
http://drupal.org/node/326 on various levels. I for one built out the
Localization API subsection and all its subpages:
http://drupal.org/node/322729

One useful tip I'd add from there is that IMHO it is a good idea to
include a cheat sheet up front, so that people can follow the detailed
docs along with a cheatsheet in hand. That cheatsheet includes common
mistakes and reference to tool to use to check whether you use the API
correctly :)
