I think you're getting confused here between the behaviour of nameclt and the
behaviour of omniNames itself.  When you do 

% ./nameclt list bar context

what is happening is that nameclt talks to the initial name server, gets an
object reference for "bar", narrows it to a context and then invokes the
list() operation on that context.  omniNames is correctly treating the binding
for "bar" like any other -- it is nameclt which treats it as a context.

The real test is whether you can resolve a binding inside the "bar" context
by only talking to the initial name server.  For example say within "bar"
you have a binding for an object "x","y" then when you try:

% ./nameclt resolve bar context x y

you will get a NotFound exception with why = not_context.
