So, how are
you supposed to wire a switch on equipment meant to be

Well, here you pretty much have to break both, even if one is neutral
sometimes. Much better than having a "half hot" circuit.
Bingo! Yeah, I was asking a bit of a loaded question. : ) I'd think
that care for disconnecting all possible 'hots' coming into the chassis
is more important on most things... excepting perhaps cheap things like
lamps or things designed to only work with a hot/neutral setup, like a
120V "surge protector."
