Well, while I think typo should honor the date sent by an XML-RPC 
client, I think that whether publishing it or not is at least open for 
discussion. I don't necessarily interpret the semantics of a 
future-dated post as you seem to do. Where does it say that a 
future-dated post does not have to appear until that date?

Don't get me wrong, while I am able to understand the reasoning behind 
that assumption, I am also able to understand that the date be nothing 
else but a property of the post, and in most cases I'd prefer the second 
interpretation.

I think that this type of feature is more appropriate for a CMS than for 
a blog engine. And, in the same manner that you want to have a window 
for (beginning of) publication, some might say that they also want to 
have a date after which the post would no longer be visible. So perhaps 
a different, new property would be more appropriate
