Sorry, but I find this a bit puzzling. How are services who receive
both Authorization and Txn-Token headers supposed to behave? As far as
I understand, both headers may contain a JWT containing scopes and
claims. How are these scopes and claims supposed to be merged? Does
one take precedent over the other? How are conflicts resolved?

I would also appreciate if the spec could elaborate on the
relationship between Txn-Token and W3C Trace Context:

https://www.w3.org/TR/trace-context/

Specifically, I'd like the spec to outline why Trace Context can not
be extended to fit the purpose of Txn-Token.
