Thanks, this seems like a reasonable way for the TAG to consolidate work. Note, however, that there are significant differences between the "raw" prompt API and higher-level task APIs like the writing assistance APIs or the translator and language detector APIs (#948). So we would appreciate it if the TAG carefully called out any concerns that are prompt API-specific, instead of grouping all of them together.

(For some discussion of those concerns, see https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1067#issuecomment-2921239314 and following discussion. A top concern is whether high-level task-based APIs can treat the underlying model as an implementation detail. We believe this is definitely possible. Whereas with the prompt API, it's a much trickier question.)
