4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to all for comments. I went with this because it didn't suggest a legal context, and the errors discussed were with how the application was made not the application itself."

Peer comment(s):

disagree Brie Vernier : that would be "Verfahrensmängel", which it cannot come to unless it is first determined that any Formmängel have been dealt with//yes, formalities in the application itself, NOT in the application procedure

in your comment to muitoprazer's answer you accept that it refers to "mere formalities". In a nutshell: one would generally put this under the heading "procedure"

Peer comment(s):

disagree Brie Vernier : The Formmängel clearly refer here to the application itself, i.e. mere formalities, and not any deficiencies in the product for which the application is being submitted

formal deficiencies

This is what it is called in the field of patents ... but also elsewhere, e.g.

The provision of G. L. c. 149, Section 44H, as appearing in St. 1956, c. 679, Section 1, that within two days after an awarding authority opens subbids filed in connection with a public construction project it "shall reject every subbid which . . . is on a form not completely filled in, or which is incomplete, conditional or obscure, or which contains any addition not called for," is mandatory to the extent that if a subbid is to be rejected for formal deficiencies the rejection must take place within the two days prescribed.

Why is the quality of publications expected to be high not only for OS but also for OSD, even though the access peer-review is not as extensive as a traditional full peer-review ?

*
First of all, manuscripts with a clear lack of substantial results or with excessive formal deficiencies will be sorted out rigorously in the access peer-review in the same way as in the peer-review of conventional journals.
*
Even if a low quality paper passed the access peer-review and was published in OSD, its deficiencies would most probably be revealed in the interactive public discussion by the referees and other interested scientists. The opportunity for interactive public discussion of papers allows efficient cross control of publication quality within the scientific community and is expected to deter deficient submissions.
