Seems like a valid point but these aren't exactly high voltages.
I'm sure a properly designed 110V could cope with an additional
110V. More of an issue would be current not voltage, but (a)
low-voltage kit has to carry larger currents and (b) the sort of
stuff that works off a universal PSU is only a few hundred watts
at most.

(The idea here is to avoid lots of converter plugs).
