Custom token [node:customtoken] not available in rules action 'set a data value'

Question

I've created module with hook_token_info() and hook_tokens(). Now i can see my token in list of all availble tokens:

$ drush token | grep customtoken
 node        customtoken         Node related token

But this token is not available in rules action 'Set a data value'. What is the problem with custom token?

My rule looks like:

1. Events: 'After saving new content', 'After updating existing content'
2. Conditions: 'Content is of type'
3. Action: 'Set a data value'

1) The easy, but dirty way:

You can nest your tokens in an existing type (see http://drupal.org/node/1714418#comment-6468184). Eg, in hook_token_info() do:

  return array(
    'types' => $types,
    'tokens' => array(
      'site' => $my_tokens,
    ),  
  );

Your tokens will appear under "Site information"

2) The harder, but cleaner way:

Define your own rules data type with hook_rules_data_info()

function mymodule_data_info() {
  return array(
    'vub_events_data' => array(
      'label' => t('My Module Data'),
      'group' => t('My Module'),
      'token type' => 'my_module',
      'property info' => array(),
    ),
  );
}

and use this in your hook_token_info() implementation.
