and maybe http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;867819 for how Windows does drive letter assignment (drive notification)
Are you sure the apps get notified, too? ISTR XP doesn't automatically update the Explorer view after you have plugged in a USB stick, or maybe I'm wrong?
I think the umpnpmgr.exe in windows takes care of all of this for the applications and explorer using the APIs you listed. I don't know how we would really fit in the Windows design here.
