I'm hunting down a socket for a PLCC-84 chip and none of them mention pitch spacing. Is that because PLCC is always the same spacing between pins?

I presume you got the SOT23-6. Could be worse, they do make chips in even smaller leaded packages, and extremely small leadless packages. They don't make sockets for chips this small, possibly aside from expensive and very bulky ZIF sockets. These chips are just meant to be soldered down onto a board. I would recommend getting a breakout board that will convert this chip to a DIP form factor for breadboarding. Just search on ebay for sot23 adapter and you'll find a bunch of breakout boards, make sure you get one with the correct pin pitch. You'll have to solder the chip to the breakout board yourself, but once it's on there you should be good to go.
AC plugs can be used with adapters. The adapters allow a UK style plug to fit in a US wall socket or a French wall socket and vice versa. You normally see them for sale at airports.
So, get yourself a bunch of adapters to suit the wall socket of your choice then buy a wall socket that is compatible with being soldered to a PCB. If it needs to be a regular wall socket on a flying lead then is this going to be a problem?

Well, according to this article, yes:
"The PLCC utilizes a "J"-lead with pin spacings of 0.05" (1.27 mm)."
Which is confirmed by this page: the JEDEC standard for PLCC is "1.27mm (50mil) lead pitch".
I did a quick search at JEDEC but only found specification for trays and tubes.
