Thanks Joe!

Here's what I submitted:

210.52(D) Bathrooms. In dwelling units, atleast one wall receptacle outlet shall be installed in bathrooms within 900mm (3 ft), measured horizontally, of the outside edge of each basin. The receptacle outlet shall be located on a wall or partition that is adjacent to the basin or basin countertop and shall be above the basin or basin countertop.

The original paragraph may be interpreted to allow the receptacle to be mounted lower than the basin or basin countertop, which would increase the likelihood of extension cords being used with hairdryers and other bathroom electrical equipment.

Also, it is unclear if the three foot distance is measured horizontally or in a direct line.
