Daisy-chaining power strips or extension cords, which is the lesser evil?

My current place of work has a rule that no extension cords are allowed to be used (although no one can give me an answer as to why). To get around this many folks (including IT staff) will daisy-chain power strips instead.

A search of the internet and of Spiceworks has led me to believe that plugging one power strip into another is either very harmful or perfectly alright. So I’m not sure what to think about this. Personally I feel an extension cord (as long as it’s in good working order) is safer and a better practice than daisy-chaining power strips to each other.

I would like to hear Spiceheads’ thought on this, just to make sure I’m not way off base.
