Hi Kalyan,

Thanks for the heads-up. Just a few observations from a quick read =
through --

* 3.2.1 Header Name (and 3.3.2)

> In order to increase interoperability across multiple protocols and =
encourage successful integration, tracing systems SHOULD encode the =
header name as ASCII lowercase.

It's a bit unusual to specify this; HTTP header names are widely =
implemented as case-insensitive. Why is it felt necessary to say this? =
Same question for the preceding paragraph.

* 3.2.3 Examples of HTTP traceparent Headers

~~~
Valid traceparent when caller sampled this request:
Value =3D 00-4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736-00f067aa0ba902b7-01
base16(version) =3D 00
base16(trace-id) =3D 4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736
base16(parent-id) =3D 00f067aa0ba902b7
base16(trace-flags) =3D 01 // sampled
~~~

This is confusing, because it doesn't actually include the header field. =
It'd be more clear if it were an entire request header section, followed =
by information about it; e.g.,

~~~
GET /foo HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
TraceParent: 00-4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736-00f067aa0ba902b7-01

The above request has the following traceparent values:

* base16(version) =3D 00
* base16(trace-id) =3D 4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736
* base16(parent-id) =3D 00f067aa0ba902b7
* base16(trace-flags) =3D 01 // sampled
~~~

* 3.2.4 Versioning of traceparent

Generally, we don't recommend versioning HTTP fields; it's better to =
just define a new field name for the new, incompatible semantics or =
syntax. Are you using a version flag here because you expect this =
structure to appear outside of HTTP headers?

* Syntax

These headers are somewhat unusual; e.g., tracestate doesn't allow =
commas, when it could have just used a quoted value; trace parent has a =
very specific encoding rather than using more typical key/value pairs or =
lists. Why was this approach taken?

We're encouraging new fields to be defined as Structured Fields, rather =
than using ABNF; see:
  https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc8941.html

* Other

The defining document for HTTP is now RFC9110, not RFC7230/1; please =
update your references accordingly.

Please see the list of considerations for new fields at =
<https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#considerations.for.new.fields> =
and make sure you have addressed the points there.

See also <https://httpwg.org/admin/editors/style-guide> for the =
preferred editorial style for HTTP-related documents.

Finally, make sure you register the fields with IANA; see:
  https://github.com/protocol-registries/http-fields/

(it's good practice to put the registration template in your =
specification, but not required)

Cheers,
