+Wrapper
+=======
+
 This is an implementation of the "Basic Context Wrapper" for Zope 3.
 More design information and documentation is available at
 
 http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/BasicContextWrapper
 
 This code requires Python 2.2.
+
+Decorator
+=========
+
+A decorator is a subtype of a context wrapper that can forward some messages
+to either a fixed set of attributes held in a dict, or to a lazily-created
+"mixin" object.
+We call the "decorating mixin" object a "mixin" because decoration is a lot
+like dynamically subclassing an object's class.
