I'd like to take this one.

I'm going to add an IsRecordError filed to SpanConfig and new event option WithRecordError.
If spanConfig.IsRecordError is true when RecordError fucntion is called with options inlucde WithRecordError, I will call the s.SetStatus(codes.Error, "") to set status.

Glad to hear from you, if anything was misunderstood.

I'm not sure this is what I or others were thinking originally. Instead, add an EventOption that was named WithStatus. E.g.

func WithStatus() EventOption

This would be passed to the call of RecordError when instrumentation wanted to record an error and set the span status to Error.
