Description

As a follow-up of #1549 we may need to support encoded Baggage values too.

As Jaeger has support for both URL-encoded and non-encoded values, how should this be implemented? Should we have two Jaeger propagators, i.e. JaegerPropagator.getEncodedInstance() and JaegerPropagator.getInstance()?

(Also, we may need to add a value for OTEL_PROPAGATORS to support this dual case)

@yurishkuro would you mind advising how to proceed here?

Research direction

Start by reviewing follow-up issue #1549 and the existing Jaeger propagator behavior for URL-encoded and non-encoded Baggage values. Determine whether separate Jaeger propagators or an OTEL_PROPAGATORS option is the intended design, then confirm the decision with the requested maintainer guidance. Done means the implementation approach and configuration behavior are agreed.
