Personally, I'd force all makers of such things to fit a loop in
loop out connector system within their 'fancy' cover, since pretty
well all new homes come wired like this. Rather in the same way as
all appliance makers must fit plugs.

They would certainly complain that this made the fittings
non-standard and thus they could not use the same thing throughout
Europe.

As does the fitting of a 13 amp plug?

That involves no changes to the equipment itself, only the lead.

As would fitting a junction box. Pretty well the same as a plug. Could be
designed so it was moulded on too.

That even applies to power supplies, which have interchangeable
bottoms with the pins attached.

I'm not really concerned about maker's objections.

Tony would not agree with you.

I'm just the messenger.
