Doesn't the notice at the top of this document prevent changes to this file?

It would be nice to be able to fix build warnings before freezing the file. Besides, this is an editorial change. But it your (spec approvers) call.

@jsuereth I'll leave it to you to decide whether to merge it here or not (if we merge it, we'll need to port the change to the semantic-conventions repo).

Blocking this PR. It's a nice to have, but these files will be slowly "tore down" and pointed to the new semconv repository.

The goal of "prior to 1.21" release is a no-go. We're not releasing semantic conventions are part of 1.21, that release has moved to the new repository.

Blocking this PR.

Ok, no problem. Shall we just close this PR?

Ok, got it.

... We're not releasing semantic conventions are part of 1.21, that release has moved to the new repository.

If I understand correctly, the semconv pages will be / have been pulled out of the spec? If so, could you open an issue similar to the following:

• Adjust to move of OTLP specs into opentelemetry-proto opentelemetry.io#2642

... but for the semconv, so that I can prepare for the page removal on the website side -- and so that we can have a place to discuss whether we still want the semconv pages to be publish on the website in how. If you rather, I can create the issue once you confirm the page move, just let me know.
