The "most right" one I have seen so far is the wart supplied with my Palm. 
It is a switcher that is small and light, and has an American 2 parallel pin 
connector that folds 90 degrees to tuck it away for packing. In the folded 
position you can slide on adapter plugs for other countries, making it as 
universal as it could possibly be - assuming you can get the adapter for the 
country you are going to next.

And at 5V at about an amp it would make a pretty neat test bench supply.
