Major Today, a <NodeType> element supports the definition of <DeploymentArtifacts> representing executable entities of the node type itself. These deployment artifacts may be overridden or extended or provided first time by another <DeploymentArtifact> element of the referencing <NodeTemplate>.
This mechanism should be supported for <ImplementationArtifacts> too: A node type may define the implementation artifacts for its operations, but a node template derived from this node type should be able to actually provide an implementation artifact, override an implementation artifact or extend the set of implementation artifacts. For this purpose, the proposal is to add an <ImplementationArtifacts> element to the <NodeTemplate> element as sibling of the <DeploymentArtifacts> element.
Thomas and I worked on a new Redline Version as requested by the TC. We realized that TOSCA-5 depends on the resolution for TOSCA-4, which introduces the distinction between deployment artifacts and implementation artifacts. Thus, we suggest to defer the resolution of TOSCA-5 until TOSCA-4 has been resolved.
The following revised proposal reflects the modification of the <ImplementationArtifact> element from TOSCA-4:

Frank and me created a new working draft WD-05 and incorporated the changes as discussed in the last TC meeting.
WD-05 is based on WD-04, since it depends on changes in WD-04. In the new WD-05 document, all changes from WD-04 have been accepted and only the new changes for WD-05 are highlighted.
I also added the Acknowledgements section to the appendix - that had been discussed on the mail list. I listed (in alphabetical order) all Members, Voting Member, and our Chairs as listed in the TC roster. Please let me know if I forgot anyone.
