Description

The second paragraph of the description of Context could be seen as being difficult to understand.

Here is my suggested re-write:

When Service A calls Service B, it includes a trace ID and a span ID as part of the context. Service B uses these values to create a new span that belongs to the same trace and sets the span from Service A as its parent. This makes it possible to track the full flow of a request across service boundaries.
