I strongly encourage you to not modify the out-of-the-box types and aspects. Instead, why not create your own custom type that extends cm:content and modifies it as you see fit?

But if I do in this way, how can I make this custom type the default type ?
Must I create a rule that specializes any submitted document ?

Yes, you would have to create a rule. Or you could do some work to customize the Share UI. But a rule would be the easiest and requires no code.

I created the rule.
It all works well.
Thanks
