Changes

  • Add missing spec language on what keys and values are allowed for the baggage.
  • Emphasize case sensitivity
  • Definitions are aligned with W3C Baggage Spec, but provide a distinction between API representation and the wire encoding (done by W3C Propagator)

Note: this could be a breaking change e.g. for Go SDK (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#3685), whose current implementation is wrong imo.

I would say that we chose the wrong decision in OTel Go. Still we might try to fix it in some backwards-compatible way (by extending the API).

TL;DR; For me this is not a blocker for this PR.

I am working towards making a fix in OTel Go: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#4804

Java is also not compliant with this. Currently, we only propagate keys/values that meet this definition, but we allow arbitrary keys for in-memory usage.

I support @pellared comment on different concerns (the in-process API and the inter-process propagation). Maybe we can adjust this PR to only mention that invalid keys MUST NOT be propagated? Then we can spin off a separate issue/PR discussing on Baggage API part.

(Also this would be easy to do as it would align with what some SIGs already do)

Updated to allow arbitrary strings in the API, but caution that Propagators may not allow some keys.

cc @open-telemetry/go-maintainers - the new wording makes Go implementation non-compliant, but it's not a breaking change for its API, you will just need to relax the checks (i.e. never return errors from baggage.New)

Let's remind maintainers in the call next Monday about this, but otherwise we are fine to go.
