As I said, IMHO a 20A receptacle on a 15A circuit can be tagged under
403.6-A. Greg?

I would tag it and have the installer explain to me why he did it.
I agree there is some ambiguous language in the text of 210.21(B)(3)
but when 406.3(A) directly addresses table 210.21(B)(3) it seems clear
to me.

The problem is that 210.21(b)(3) clearly says it and the table apply
to circuits with more than one receptacle. And everyone is in
agreement that using a 20A outlet on a 15A circuit with more than one
receptacle is not allowed. It's 210.21(b)(1) that addresses the
issue of a single outlet.
