-<p>N.B.: Smalltalk has two distinct types of namespace commands.
-<em>Can someone who knows Smalltalk explain why Smalltalk needs two different kinds of namespaces?</em></p>
+<p>N.B.: Smalltalk has two distinct types of namespace commands:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>smalltalk.prefix: Prepended to generated classnames.</li>
+<li>Smalltalk does not have namespaces for classes, so prefixes
+    are used to avoid class-name collisions.
+    Often, the prefix is the author's initials, like "KB" or "JWS",
+    or an abbreviation of the package name, like "MC" for "Monticello".</li>
+<li>smalltalk.category: Determines the category for generated classes.
+  Any dots in the identifier will be replaced with hyphens when generating
+  the category name.
+  If not provided, defaults to "Generated-" + the program name.
+  Methods will not be categorized beyond "as yet uncategorized".</li>
+<li>Smalltalk allows filing both classes and methods within classes into named
+    groups. These named groups of methods are called categories.</li>
+</ul>
 <p>N.B.: The <code>php_namespace</code> directive will be deprecated at some point in the future in favor of the scoped syntax, but the scoped syntax is not yet supported for PHP.</p>
 <p>N.B.: The <code>xsd_namespace</code> directive has some purpose internal to Facebook but serves no purpose in Thrift itself. Use of this feature is strongly discouraged</p>
