I went through the Codex and found some files you may have missed. Not sure exactly how indepth your mixing and matching might become, so I did a wide search.

A key issue to this is that you have three audiences to address, a common problem with the Codex, which is why we set up the WordPress Lessons area, giving beginners a safe place to start and covering topics in a very simple fashion. While the basics might not apply to serious WordPress developers, EVERYONE digs into their Theme at one time or another. The three audiences are: beginners, experienced designers, and "the next generation" developers, digging into the hooks, code, and customization, creating their own rules as they go. In general, the Codex serves to help the first two groups, but offer a solid reference for the third. I'm glad your focus is on the middle group, providing a "checklist" based reference. Eager to see the results.
