Description
xref pypa/wheel#367
It would be good to have one source of truth for the canonical tags from the host python, and who better to provide it than packaging.tags. This would enable refactoring code in wheel, setuptools, and pip.

Research direction
Start by reading packaging.tags and the linked wheel#367 discussion. Determine the intended host-Python interfaces for canonical platform, ABI, and Python tags, then assess how wheel, setuptools, and pip would consume them. Done means the API scope is agreed and the affected consumers can use one source of truth.
