Yeah Allan, I agree that you can't possibly plug one of the NEMA outlets
in wrong. But after you leave, the customer someday is going to buy a
new appliance, and he's got less than a 50/50 chance of wiring our nice
NEMA plug onto his new appliance correctly if there's dual voltage
available. With only a single voltage presented, he's at least got a
50/50 chance...maybe even better odds with a little common sense. I
guess it's up to you, and your assessment of the customer's technical
savvy. 

Cheers,
Doug
