2. The ability to declare methods protected or private

These are nonsensical in a true object-oriented language; since you can send any message to any object at any time, there is and can be no enforcement of protection.

Why ever would you think that a "true" OO language should not -- and *can* not -- have protected/private methods? Smalltalk is not the end-all and be-all, you know.
