Hello! It's common practice for REST APIs to return the `X-Request-Id` header for correlation purposes (simplifying post mortem support etc.) Is the updated trace context standard a good candidate to replace this idiom or is it best to support both headers to separate the external communication/correlation of a given request and (possibly) internal distributed tracing needs? This gets a little harder to reason about in SaaS vendor scenarios as outlined in the spec. When a relying party might use trace context and wish to propagate the sample-flag to a vendor API. Ideally it should be sufficient with a single header/mechanism to both trigger tracing and correlate requests. Any advice on this would be helpful! Cheers, Jacob
