Are there any practical reasons why wiring should not be run behind skirting boards?

Fixings for the skirting board and that it is contrary to Wiring
Regulations. The latter doesn't mean that you *can't* put wiring
behind skirtings but when there is a wiring inspection (e.g as the
place changes hands) then it will fail.... This would be tearful.

Ah OK, thanks.
Fortunately the place is in a free country that doesn't give a toss
about wussy wiring regulations and that doesn't have raids by a wiring
Gestapo. As for nails, one would think there'd be more chance of them
hitting wiring in walls than in skirting boards (where pictures don't
hang).
