Is the reply correct?

Yes.

There are obvious mechanisms to create metadata on the
object model in Drools and while there are data structures in the rules to
store metadata setting user-defined metadata on rules does not seem to have
supporting predicates.

I beg your pardon?

I would be interested in seeing a rule metadata
example.

rule "some rule"
    @ID( theid )
when
   ...
then
   System.out.println( "@ID: " + drools.getRule().getMetaData().get( "ID" ) );
end

Running in 5.2.x, but should also work with 5.1.1.
