I think Bernard's point is that PPP bridging is defined (RFC 3518).
That is, PPP links can be bridged together.   They cannot be bridged
with Ethernet links.

Whether it's wired or wireless depends on whatever the physical media
under PPP is.  So for example, if someone were to do RFC3518 with PPPoE
and if PPPoE is able to work over 802.11 (offhand I don't know if it
does), then you'd have bridged PPP over wireless.
