Follow up on this old thread: What I and Kent were discussing was the way to connect the extra earthing wire. Apparently, three methods are acceptable. I can imagine a fourth, but don't know if it's acceptable.

Alternative 1 was the one I was arguing for.
Alternative 2 requires a separate earthing teminal for the extra earth wire in the sockets. Alternative 3 means just cutting the wire at the receiving socket. This is the method Kent uses.
