This is described in the c++ spec, page 142.  The spec basically says that
omniORBs way is the proper way, but the other way is allowed on c++
implementations that don't support namespaces, or defining templates
inside other classes.

So strictly speaking, an ORB that runs on a compiler that has the support
for the former, should use that one.

You can use either with omniORB.  Use either the -Wbtp or -Wbtf option to
omniidl.


Cheers,
