Not sure we're talking about the same thing.
Let's say I have :

  x namespace
  * NAMESPACE (("" "/")) (("#shared/" "/")) NIL
  x OK Namespace completed.

If the shared namespace is configured with list=yes. Can a client list
this namespace mailboxes without specifying somewhere in the list
command arguments the prefix "#shared/" ? Is yes, how and why ?

Has it something to do with the parent namespace beeing always, at a top
level the default (i.e. wihthout prefix) namespace ?

If it cannot, there's no "crossing namespace boundaries" pb. There is
only a problem for this client if it doesn't support NAMESPACE or
doesn't have the namespace prefix somewhere in its conf.
