The hooks framework document

http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/Bind10HooksFramework

... has been updated as a result of the comments made over the past
few days.  In particular:

* The "register()" function has been removed.  Callouts with the same
names as registered hooks are now automatically loaded: the library
can register callouts with non-standard names, as well as register
additional callouts for a hook within the "load()" function (renamed
from "libload()").

* Libraries can now not interfere with the callouts registered by
other libraries.  A library can only remove its own callouts.

* The XXX_SKIP return codes have been removed. Instead, "a request to
skip processing is indicated by a special flag on the callout handle
object.

* The functionality of the various "handle" objects has been clarified.
