Description

OpenTelemetry put in place some recommendations around names of the spans and names of their span attributes and their value. All recapped under the semconv project:

https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/general/trace/

For HTTP exchanges, there are dedicated conventions:

Issue is CXF, since the OpenTelemetry feature, is not following those conventions.
