I was just adding my .02 regarding the comment made by hilton regarding cords along the floor.

I think he is referring to the reasoning behind the 6' code requirement. 6' is not a random number, it is consistent with typical cord lengths on UL appliances, e.g. lamp cords. The code is attempting to avoid extension cords and cords run across areas you would normally walk.
 
I agree. I was being sarcastic ... 2 cents is so passe ... surely inflation has run it up by now.
 
tbz, I would agree that receptacles would be required. I believe E3901.2.2 requires receptacle(s) along the railing.
