Roy,
 Your point is good, but:
I like to never have an outlet on a lighting circuit. That way, an overload 
never puts me in the dark.
And it's not *necessarily* a good idea to have adjacent outlets on different 
circuits. If you have 2 appliances plugged into those outlets, neither 
grounded properly, and both shorted, you get 240 volts between them. Touching 
both simultaneously can be deadly.
And don't say, "Well, that'd never happen."
