omniORB 3 onwards uses the extended Naming IDL. 2.x used the original
spec.

This page takes you to the latest revision of the Naming service
specification document, which includes the IDL.

  http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/naming_service.htm

The page also has a link to the naming idl as a text file, but it's
the old version. I can't find a stand-alone version of the current
version, but you can extract it from this file containing all the
standard IDL:
