 ## Semantic Conventions
 
-This package uses `@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions` version `1.22+`, which implements Semantic Convention [Version 1.7.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.7.0/semantic_conventions/README.md)
+### Client Spans
+
+Prior to version `0.54`, this instrumentation created spans targeting an experimental semantic convention [Version 1.7.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.7.0/semantic_conventions/README.md).
+
+This package is capable of emitting both Semantic Convention [Version 1.7.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.7.0/semantic_conventions/README.md) and [Version 1.27.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.27.0/docs/http/http-spans.md).
+It is controlled using the environment variable `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN`, which is a comma separated list of values.
+The values `http` and `http/dup` control this instrumentation.
+See details for the behavior of each of these values below.
+If neither `http` or `http/dup` is included in `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN`, the old experimental semantic conventions will be used by default.
+
+#### Stable Semantic Conventions 1.27
+
+Enabled when `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN` contains `http` OR `http/dup`.
+This is the recommended configuration, and will soon become the default behavior.
+
+Follow all requirements and recommendations of HTTP Client Span Semantic Conventions [Version 1.27.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.27.0/docs/http/http-spans.md), including all required and recommended attributes.
+
+#### Legacy Behavior (default)
+
+Enabled when `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN` contains `http/dup` or DOES NOT CONTAIN `http`.
+This is the current default behavior.
+
+Create HTTP client spans which implement Semantic Convention [Version 1.7.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.7.0/semantic_conventions/README.md).
+
+#### Upgrading Semantic Conventions
+
+When upgrading to the new semantic conventions, it is recommended to do so in the following order:
+
+1. Upgrade `@opentelemetry/instrumentation-http` to the latest version
+2. Set `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=http/dup` to emit both old and new semantic conventions
+3. Modify alerts, dashboards, metrics, and other processes to expect the new semantic conventions
+4. Set `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN=http` to emit only the new semantic conventions
+
+This will cause both the old and new semantic conventions to be emitted during the transition period.
+
+### Server Spans
+
+This package uses `@opentelemetry/semantic-conventions` version `1.22+`, which implements Semantic Convention [Version 1.7.0](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/v1.7.0/semantic_conventions/README.md).
