Prometheus updated its data model to allow for, among other things, widen the restrictions for allowable metric and label names.
The corresponding specification for Prometheus in this Open Telemetry specification should be updated to match. Specifically, I'd like to make it clear that exporters can optionally pass through Otel names untranslated, with dot separators and no suffixes, to Prometheus. If there are any other differences between the two specifications those should be resolved at the same time.
