I believe it was deemed out of scope.  If a client application needed to
"find" a container, then it might be handed a URL from some service or
person.  It could be as simple as having a usage-specific predicate for
this:
   <> :bucketOfBolts <http://example.com/bucketContainer>
or a query service to find containers of a certain type.

The spec does however define when you perform a GET/HEAD on a URL and
determine if it is a container.

Perhaps defining a bit more the scenario around the "it" above, could help
feed into the requirement to drive the right solution.
