Once the publication process is launched then yes, normally everything (initial sub, reviews, responses, final paper) is published.
But like I said, it seems that special issues are, at present, exempt from that? http://peerproduction.net/peer-review/current/ (dated 2011)

Personally I don't see any conflict between having a 90% *rejection rate* (or whatever rate you prefer), while continuing to "publish" informally (as a pre-print or non-print) all initial submissions together with their reviews. Including for special issues.
I'm not sure if this conversation comes from my first point:
- peer-reviewed, but publish a list of rejected papers and the reviewers
comments
I meant to publish only the list of titles (and perhaps abstracts) and the reviewers comments that explain the rejection. In that way, you can improve your paper and send it to another journal (no journal likes to publish what has been published before).
