Why? I am unaware of any RFCs that require a domain to accept e-mail.
Does the Dutch registry periodically recheck? Because it would
be pretty easy to throw out the MX records once the domain has been
registered.

That's a good idea, but if a domain doesn't accept or send e-mail, then
I would think that accurate WHOIS information would be sufficient.
