Comment (by jane):

 At one point I think clicking Cancel would return state to Publish
 Immediately (I vaguely remember it being a topic of discussion a couple of
 releases ago), but that was overriding the normal ok/cancel behavior. I've
 never had any problem with setting the date and time back to right now
 manually. Is it really that hard to look up in the corner of your computer
 screen to see what time it is and enter it? I'm all for making the UI
 easier, but in cases where the use case is relatively narrow, we have to
 weigh adding more stuff to reduce work on the part of the user needing the
 new behavior with adding clutter for all the users that don't need the
 behavior. If we had any stats on how often a post goes from being
 scheduled to being published immediately that would be useful.

 I'd suggest a plugin, but let's face it, such a small change to UI
 probably wouldn't get a lot of publicity in the world of plugins. Maybe
 wordpress.com (and/or any other person/business out there running a
 customized/hosted WP setup that could gather stats on usage) could
 implement a feature like this, and we could observe the usage stats for a
 while to help determine if it's needed for core.

 In meantime, adding this tickt to UI group's list of UI issues that might
 need addressing.
