Not sure if you're proposing a change. What labels do you suggest? I intend to re-open 0008 today.

@yurishkuro I like your philosophical question, but I want to flip it around. If you had a data format to capture events like you described, then wouldn't it be natural...

@yurishkuro I'm comfortable sending exceptions to a tracing system. I have prior experience telling me that users want to find traces for (rare, interesting) exceptions. It _could_ be the exception-monitoring...

Since the existing parts of a `traceparent` are base16 encoded, and whereas the version 0 `traceparent` reads like ``` traceparent: 00-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-FF ``` for T, S and F being half bytes...
