As part of https://github.com/w3c/trace-context/pull/259 an explanation of multi-graph identity of a request was removed. We discussed that it needs to be brought back.

CC: @AloisReitbauer who planned to take a stub on it.

We create a separate repo that is referenced on the W3C website. This repo will contain such information. There we will also add back the trace graph content. FYI @plehegar

Just to make it clearer - this issue is to describe the use case when tracestate entry is used to store the last Span ID seen by specific vendor. This way multiple graphs can co-exist - every single vendor can rely on tracestate entry to connect spans while knowing that other vendor present in the overall trace and end user can cross-connect graphs from different vendors
