Tagging @lmolkova for looking at how to formalize the semantic conventions.

If MCP becomes a big deal then at some point in the future there will probably be some OTEL semantic conventions for MCP traces/metrics. Undoubtably our names won't line up.

I don't think there is anything that can be done about that. But something to keep in mind.

I created an issue and copilot generated doc based on these to kickstart the semantic convention process.

unfortunately AI cannot replace people when writing semantic conventions - it should read contributing.md and probably didn't. OTel also advises against using AI as a primary contributor.

@samsp-msft, are you good with this for now?
