…API (open-telemetry#3890) The api.md document specifies the Metric API, it does not defined the OpenTelemetry defined implementations of this API. Remove or correct the details within this API and leave it for the implementation specification to define. Importantly, the API is decoupled from implementation for a reason. Third-party implementation may exists that OTel does not have domain over. This document needs to written with that in mind. Related to open-telemetry#3171 and open-telemetry#3071.
