I know I usually come up with arcane, weird questions, but at least I will leave out the long, silly details on this one...
Are there ANY requirements or restrictions ANYWHERE that regulate when the break-off ears of a duplex receptacle are used or removed?
I know they are normally removed when the receptacle is mounted to a cut-in box or under an industrial cover, but is this required?
They are usually left on when mounted over drywall to a plaster ring, but is it required?
I know I can require proper alignment of the receptacle later on, but can I nip this "future problem" in the bud during rough inspections?
