I think they really want us to use T/R for all 15 and 20a 120v receptacles.

The final text of the 2014 NEC reads exactly the way that shortcircuit posted for 406.12.

I don't see any different wording in the 2014 that's not in the 2011. 406.13 and 406.14 in the 2011 are moved under 406.12 as (B) and (C) in the 2014, word for word.

Yep.
They took out the reference to 'dwelling units' in the Section heading and added 'hotels and motels' to 406.12B and moved a few things around.
Other than that it's the same as it was in 2011.
