I've seen this done, and they do fit OK as long as you're careful when you install the plug. As far as I know, the FCC and IC are only concerned with the connector you intend to connect to (the one on the wall), so it shouldn't be a registration/certification problem in North America. The EU and other countries may be a problem, though.
