As far as I know, there is nothing illegal about installing a

That would make most power strips a bad idea, no?

An outlet mounted face up on a table top seems like a bad idea.

Eveery outlet strip I have seen ended up with the outlets facing
straight up when they are used.

Exactly zero of mine are. Most are screwed to the bottom of
tables/desks or to the wall. Why would they be pointing up? Sounds
like you're into octopus wiring.
