I think that's a non sequitir.  The reason you'd need a new container is 
if you needed a new HTTP interaction point with LDPC semantics.  I can 
record info about a NetWorth member anywhere (at any URL) using RDF.... 
including on a different server.

LDP does not constrain the storage ("inside").  It gives you no guarantee 
that the state of /nw1 includes the triples in the container resources; 
nor does it impede doing so.  It's logical/common sense enough to do so, 
just not guaranteed by the spec.

This appears to devolve back to "how do I create containers".  We've had 
conversations about that before, and had some level of consensus IIRC that 
the spec would remain silent and the primer/deployment document might well 
show how the "spec as it is" could be used by implementations to create 
containers.

Sibling containers share a common membershipSubject. For example, the 
Asset and Liability containers are siblings 'inside' a Networth resource. 

What happens if I want to record some new/other information about a 
Networth resource ? Then I need a way to create a new container. 

A simple solution might be to PUT a new sibling Container to some explicit 
address. Alternatively, as the LDPC siblings are form a container, POSTing 
to a networth could also do this sibling creation. This has the 
implication that every LDPR is an LDPC ...
