Right.  There's also some more near the end:

 * Completion Callbacks:
 *
 * The completion callback is made in_interrupt(), and one of the first
 * things that a completion handler should do is check the status field.
 * The status field is provided for all URBs.  It is used to report
 * unlinked URBs, and status for all non-ISO transfers.  It should not
 * be examined before the URB is returned to the completion handler.

-EREMOTEIO, in the unlikely event that URB_SHORT_NOT_OK is set, but no
others.

And I wasn't aware of that last one...  Host controller drivers should
report -ESHUTDOWN to mean the device has been disconnected, not
-EPROTO.  But usually HCD don't take these events into account when
determining URB status codes.
