Interesting question!  Could the holes (aren't they called fenestrations or some other big word?) possibly protect the foliage by reducing the amount of wind resistance (and possible damage) on the blade surface?

Can anyone say what might be the biological purpose of leaves with holes in them?  A typical example would be Monstera deliciosa.
