Radio, have you peeked at 550.13(G)(2)? It appears that in regular houses, they intend to count the area behind doorswings.
I don't see how tempting a receptacle will be for permanent use in a spot where it would interfere with using the door. More likely, a vacuum cleaner or other temporary appliance (or a nightlight having a small profile) will be plugged in there. More likely still, it will never be used.
Look at this another way: Are we going to stop in once a month and be sure Toby hasn't cluttered his floor with dirty clothes, impeding his egress from the room?
Why concern ourselves with such things?
Not trying to be combative, just voicing the other side.
