    <dd>
      A distributed trace is a set of events, triggered as a result
      of a single logical operation, consolidated across various
      components of an application. A distributed trace contains
      events that cross process, network and security boundaries.
      A distributed trace may be initiated when someone presses a
      button to start an action on a website - in this example, the
      trace will represent calls made between the downstream services
      that handled the chain of requests initiated by this button
      being pressed.

    <dt><dfn data-lt="opaque">Opaque value</dfn></dt>
    <dd>
      An opaque value refers to a value that can only be understood
      or processed in any way by the distributed trace participant that generated
      this value. Any other participant must treat it as a blob of bytes.
