I had an interesting conversation with a Leviton rep. He said there is no difference in the internal architecture between a 15A and 20A receptacles other than the shape and that the 15A part is built to carry the 20A load. He said that goes for all manufacturers and is an industry standard for their standard receptacles *of course they offer heavy duty versions). So maybe this is why the NEC allows 15A receptacles on a 20A circuit.
Interesting...About 2 years ago we had a problem with tripping breakers and some receptacles being burned/scorched at our fairly new (<10 yrs)church. We had an electrician in and he verified that all wiring was up to code and in good condition. However he noted that all the plugs were 15A. I never even knew there was a difference between 15 and 20A receptacles. We purchased and changed all plugs to 20A. We've never had a breaker trip since.
