I would think that it might be the Fire Marshal who would have more clout when it comes to the "after the plug" way of looking at holiday lighting. I have seen Fire Marshals wreak havoc in commercial buildings when it comes to plug strips and extension cords. I have also seen them require non UL listed rope lights be removed from around windows in retail stores. I think if I saw something that really bothered me I might ask my friendly neighborhood Fire Marshal to join me in doing a little field inspection and see what he had to say about it. Better he be the Scrooge than me. What do you think George?
