Thomas Spatzier  commented on TOSCA-58:
---------------------------------------

Right, I also stumbled over the same paragraph recently. I think the Service Template API could be the "portability API" Frank has introduced recently. Since this is not in the spec and will likely move into a later version of TOSCA, I will just remove this reference.
I will incorparate #1 above in wd-12.

> In the first paragraph of Chapter 11 (WD-11), there is a sentence "The execution of a step can be performed by one of the functions offered via the interfaces of a Node Template, by invoking operations of a Service Template API, or by invoking other operations being required in the context of a specific service." There are two points confusing me: 
> 1. Interfaces are only defined in NodeType and RelationshipType in the spec, so "via the interfaces of a Node Template" changing to "via the interfaces of a NodeType or a RelationshipType" is a right way. 
> 2. What is the "Service Template API"? There is no definitions in the spec. This really confuses me.
