From what I've been able to read there are a few viable explanations for the holes.
Receptical contacts may have a bump so the plugs have retention ability.
It provides a means to put some type of lockout through the holes.
It provides a means to attach some type of labeling or instructional tag.
I'll vote for number one.

That makes perfect sense when you think about how tools are "borrowed" when left lying around... Can't borrow what doesn't work. Also seems like its easier to get a lock to fit onto the end of that than some switches on machinery (Like tablesaws with the little hole for lockout or the too-easily-lost yellow piece)
