+			<h3>Containers are not limited to same-subject, same-predicate triples</h3>
+			
+			<p>
+			The LDP specification defines a Container as &quot;a Linked Data Platform Resource (LDPR) representing a collection of same-subject, same-predicate triples.&quot; This can easily be misconstrued to mean that a Container should <em>only</em> contain same-subject, same-predicate triples. While Containers <em>may</em> contain only same-subject, same-predicate triples (i.e. the membership subjects and membership predicates of its membership triples), it is free to contain others. The definition is meant to clarify only those attributes that are directly relavant to the interaction model of a Container, but not to limit them to those attributes alone. 
+			</p>
+
+			<p>It is important to remember that a Linked Data Platform Container (LDPC) is also a Linked Data Platform Resource (LDPR) and though it might exist as a membership controller, it may also represent additional data that is valuable to the agents that access it.</p>
