I haven't messed with this, but when you create the container (ie <con:...> you might be able to pass additional attributes. If not you might have to try to extend the container object. Just a thought... Where are you going to store the custom information that the user enters for that container? The container object is very generic. This is why I created a custom rule in my example because FC will integrate that into the DB.
