The fire marshal that regularly inspects our building will cite us if he 
sees an extension cord in use - even temporarily - or sees a temporary 
power tap/surge suppressor connected to another. Meanwhile, in another 
city, I see government and commercial buildings violating these rules 
for years. Perhaps there's some amount of interpretation allowed or some 
inspectors are more aggressive than others.
