I did a quick check to see if there was anything explicitly but not sure 
ISSUE-7 covers it completely and it is being proposed to be closed saying 
it is covered by new issues.

The process to insert new use cases is to open an issue assigned the 
product to the UC&R.

I think one way to position the question or use case, such as:

Determining from a URI whether it is a LDPC.
Does this cover your case or do you expect to have to have "more" data 
about the LDP server?  If more data is needed, then what use case is 
motivating this from the client?

It almost feels like we could solve your case by simply introducing a 
predicate that other vocabularies could insert into their models, such as 
ldp:container or ldp:endPoint.
