> With Type A for 127V, the worldwide standard for 120V plugs. That would be going backwards, and losing all the safety features of the new NBR 14136 ("type N") standard; to make it worse, we already did use something like "type A" (with "universal" sockets which accepted both flat and round pins, and sometimes even grounded "type B" together with these two, it was a mess) for both 127V and 220V, so you'd still have (in older buildings) these "type A" plugs being used for 220V.
