I was under the impression that the idea behind switching the secondary side
of the transformer with the on/off switch had something to do with UL standards.

A EE friend of mine once said that the UL standards apply only to areas
operating above 40 volts (or something like that).  It would seem that the UL
standards would apply only to the cord, strain relief, and transformer in this
case.
