As you may (or may not) know, it is possible to set both Published date and Schedule a publish date for a page.

What can be a bit confusing with this is that you can set Published date in the future. One of my customers were a bit puzzled by this, as coming from CMS6 and not being used to the new UI, they thought that this were how you scheduled a page publish.

Does anyone know if it is by design that one should be able to set a future Publish date?
