[Nsi-wg] service instance and temporal aspects of services

[Tomohiro Kudoh]

Hi Inder,

But in the future, we may have services like point-to-multipoint (i.e.
virtual network) service, which will have temporal aspects too. 

So, I believe "temporal aspects" is generic to (not all but) multiple
services, and putting it to the generic architecture part is better for
future extension of NSI.
