Hum, I think this description applies to class-based languages as well.  
Just say 'class' instead of 'blank prototype object'.
When are the methods inserted - at run-time? Then there's a real  
difference, but in that case I'm asking myself how they make sure no  
undefined routine is called. I see serious efficiency problems if these  
checks are done at run-time.
