Thanks for taking on this work @jpkrohling! Added a couple of comments

[jpkrohling]

Note: I changed a couple of things in autoprop, to account for two edge cases: an empty input, which IMO should have the same behavior as if the value wasn't specified), and an empty value, which IMO should be skipped.

[jpkrohling]

If this looks good, I'll fix the merge conflicts.

[MrAlias]

Looks good overall. Thanks for working on this.

There is a difference between

 "propagator": { 
 }, 

and

 "propagator": { 
     "composite": [] 
 }, 

From the specification:

If a property has a default value defined (i.e. is not required) and is missing or present but null, Create MUST ensure the SDK component is configured with the default value.

The first one should return the default value. The second an empty composite propagator.
The code should be probably like this:

	if cfg.opentelemetryConfig.Propagator.Composite == nil {
		return propagation.NewCompositeTextMapPropagator()
	}
	n := len(cfg.opentelemetryConfig.Propagator.Composite)
	if n == 0 {
		return autoprop.NewTextMapPropagator(), nil
	}

I do not see anything in the schema that disallows using empty name. See: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-configuration/blob/main/schema/propagator.json

autoprop supports empty names (similarly to database/sql).

Sorry that I was not precise in #6727 (comment) 🙇

[codeboten]

i opened an issue in the configuration repo to discuss this, i submitted a PR to propose enforcing a minimum length on propagator configuration

Folks, sorry for dropping the ball on this one. I'm closing, as I don't think I have time to merge the conflicts and follow-up on potential changes from the next PRs. Feel free to use the PR as inspiration for new PRs!
