A cursory overview of the patch looks good.  A few comments / questions:

In my opinion, the list of scheduled posts in the dashboard should
only show up if there are, in fact, scheduled posts.

When publishing a future-dated item, we should probably indicate to
the user that the future-date has been preserved.  Something along the
lines of "Your post has been scheduled for publication at ... '.

Have you tested this yourself, Rick?  How has it worked for you?

Cheers,
Scott
