Maybe I am confused.  What are you proposing exactly?

Should minibuffer-prompt-properties have a face attribute?

Should this face attribute use the 'bold or minibuffer-prompt-face' faces?

My suggestion is to:

Create a face named minibuffer-prompt-face which is just bold by default.

Set minibuffer-prompt-properties to ue this face.

This way users can just customize the minibuffer-prompt-properties without
creating a new face (which is hard to do from customization).

Thoughts?
