This is much better. For me as a beginner to understand things better let me ask one question:
The TraceContext is passed from Service to Service with its parent modified, while each SpanContext is sent to the Collector when the Service is finished with the operation that the span covers? Is this correct?

I attempted to clarify. Span context contains the "trace context". That's where it gets stored.
