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 Cheers Victor
