Sounds OK to me.

Why?  Not sure what you mean.

I would prefer that the two be separated.  Tooltip text
is quite different from prompts in use cases and behavior.

Wrt tooltips, I also don't see why we need an option, or
even a defvar.  Tooltips should just accept and respect
propertized strings.

When you use `x-show-tip' there is no such problem - you
can apply properties as usual.  It is only `help-echo'
tooltips that do not respect properties (AFAIK).

Another, simpler possibility, for dealing with face
`tooltip':

It is not possible to simply _bind_ a face for the
duration (or lex scope) of a function.  But if we
use a face variable for this, e.g. `tooltip-face',
then it should be simple to do so.

IOW, work around the limitation that you cannot bind
a face by binding a face variable and using that for
`help-echo'.  That should make it simple for any code
to control the appearance of the tooltip text.
