Thanks Raphael.

I actually just used your code to (re)implement the publication_date
functionality in metaweblogapi, but decided not to commit it.  While
writing tests for this functionality, I realised that I didn't know what
the desired behaviour for publishing an IWeblogEntry in the future would
be.  I mean, would such an entry be returned by getEntries (which
returns only published entries) or getDrafts?

So, it got complicated and I backed off ;-).
