Our designs deal with islands and peninsulas (peninsulae?) a lot. Often it's got no studs and drywall anywhere on the structure. When it's just cabinetry like that with a single-level counter, it's very hard to find a safe place to mount an outlet. It's a simple thing when there's a backsplash and a second barstool-height counter above the work surface.
I predict that the requirement to put outlets in islands will come back later after enough people get hurt tripping over the extension cords stretched out from the wall to the island. I think the code should remain fundamentally anti-extension cord.
