Woops, the chapter isn't missing, nor is the information. Scott, you'll find it in http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/create-container.html- you can assign metadata when you create the container.
I'll let one of the Swift devs answer about the ability to update container metadata (which is I think the use case you're pursuing).
