True. Something needs to be defined here.

I think that it should at least be namespaced somehow to avoid clashes.
"pageInitPostProcess" could be a hook name in an extension too. Or one
for the "Web>Page" module.

We already have XCLASS definitions in
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['Objects'][<classname>], why not use some
similar construct for hooks:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['Hooks'][<classname>][<hookname>] ?

Or even at "top level" ($TYPO3_CONF_VARS['Hooks']) to avoid so much
clutter of the SYS section.

Cheers,
