Personally, I wish that more people would take a look at the ROP and ROC for each Code cycle. We came very close to a mandated floor box in a Meeting Room...it died only because enough comments were made to the 2011 draft. (Thanks, everyone).
There are a lot of folks who believe that the NEC is used as a tool to force the purchase of some specific manufacturer's product. Once you see how many time a manufacturer tries that and gets slapped down it makes you realize that the vast majority of the stuff that makes it into the NEC is there for a reason other than marketing.
