Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

SDKs today are not qualifying their span and tag names

Describe the solution you'd like

Prefix with temporal or io.temporal in all SDKs. The concern is whether we have to retain backwards compatibility as unprefixed by default. Obviously making this opt-in just means very few will do it, so we should see if it's ok to change the default.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how each SDK currently names spans and tags, then determine whether the proposed temporal or io.temporal prefix can become the default without breaking compatibility. Done means an agreed cross-SDK default and backwards-compatibility policy, followed by updates across the affected SDKs.
