If the `random-trace-id` flag is set, at least the right-most 7 bytes of the -`trace-id` MUST be selected randomly (or pseudo-randomly) from a uniform -distribution of all `2^56` possible values. +`trace-id` MUST be selected randomly (or pseudo-randomly) with uniform distribution +over the interval [0..2^56-1]. As shown in the next section, if part of the `trace-id` is nonrandom, it is important for the random part of the `trace-id` to be as far right in the
