Hi Scott - You're in fact correct, though I'm puzzled as to how the OpenStack documents are missing the Container chapter.
If you need quick info, you can refer to Cloud Files API reference info: http://docs.rackspace.com/files/api/v1/cf-devguide/content/Create_Container-d1e1694.htmlyou'll see that you can assigning custom metadata to a container. I'm going to investigate how the "real" chapter 4 of the Object API book fell off the publishing wagon and got lost on the wayside (plus log a doc bug). Thanks for pointing it out. Eesh.
