I imagine if people had thought of one they would have done it ;-)

The inhibit API is very new, newer than most of the stuff you mention. 
What I'd suggest is filing a bug against each app that does not inhibit 
when it should, with a link to the docs on how to use the inhibit API 
(or a patch that uses it, even better). This won't guarantee immediate 
results but should at least raise awareness and you'll probably see 
results on at least some of the bugs.
