The only obvious thing about the matter is an IEC inlet has the same polarity orientation as an AC outlet, but I don't see why that would be important since one type of connector interface is a power inlet, while the other type of connector interface is a power outlet, which would make better sense in terms of safety if the polarities were purposefully reversed in order. Furthermore, the reason why a cable-mount IEC connector has the same order of polarity as a cable-mount AC plug seems pointless and counter-intuitive. The only important aspect of a cable-mount IEC connector is that the electrical contacts are shrouded for safety, which should negate any safety requirement of which prong should be for live, and which one should be for neutral. Which is to say, the reasonable idea would be to feature a different polarity orientation for an AC power inlet vs. that of an AC power outlet.
