    Based on your research, what is the roadblock to UL-approval for a 
sliding power outlet?  Doesn't seem like a big deal, to me.  You know the 
range of movement, so as long as you provide that much slack or extension 
in the cabling, and protect it with a gusset wherever it passes through a 
'wall', what's the problem?

    Seems much simpler than, say, a wheeled cart with fixed outlets, which 
are commonplace.
