On the topic of the Schuko plug, I never really understood why there had to be that many variations of it. Being from Denmark, I have more often than not had problems with the ground pin obstructing me from using a Danish plug in other countries. It has often times lead me to either saw off the ground pin, or replace the plug with a two-pin connector without the ground pin - in both cases decreasing the security of the plug for accessibility.
