Actually is says ...
"Exception No. 1: In other than kitchens and bathrooms, one or more receptacles controlled by a wall switch shall be permitted in lieu of lighting outlets."
... so if you have a switched receptacle you don't need a lighting outlet.
That is how they deal with the blanked off ceiling box here. There is a "half hot" somewhere in the room. We still have some inspectors who say they can count the blank cover but I dissagree.
