Re: linking from resource -> container ..

My explanation of why this is an important issue was a bit of a ramble on the call just earlier, so, I'll have another go at explaining:

Navigation is on the web is moving (i.e. browsing) between domain data resources. Along on the way we may want to interact to create new resources. This interaction is done using other methods POST, PUT, etc, via 'interaction' resources (which are discovered/linked inside the LD). 

The networth example of the spec (example 2) is a case in point. i.e. given a networth resource (by searching, navigation, ...), should I want to interact with the resource I need to know where the associated containers are. This isn't back-linking, it is linking in the flow of the application.
