 check_and_publish_future_post() is the function that is called for future-
 published posts.  It guards against drafts being published, but it doesn't
 make sure that the publish date of the post is in the past.  This can lead
 to posts being published early, if an earlier WP-Cron entry wasn't
 properly cleared out.

 Giving this a high priority, as this could lead to embarrassing early
 postings.

 Also, if it attempts to publish itself early, we should make sure that the
 correct scheduled event is set so it doesn't get stuck as "Scheduled"
 forever.
