I was think more along the lines that while the content may be
basically OK, the Nupedia peer-review process may discover errors, or
ask for other minor modifications (e.g. in stlye or length) before
Nupedia could accept the entry.

A very basic layer would be enough to get going, even just a simple tag
to identify Nupedia-accepted entries. Sophistication could come later.
