The question is what is the correct typesetting practice.
As a musician, how can I know if the ottava applies only to
the upper voice or to the full stave
That's easy. It only applies to the voices that are marked. 

LilyPond of today just writes 8va --------- above the staff, which
makes it impossible to distinguish what voice it applies to.
Can you please describe the notation you have in mind.
