Comment:

 [attachment:39256.3.diff] addresses the '''second''' issue in the original
 report (allows updating the date of a draft).

 From
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post#Scheduling_posts:

 > If you are trying to use `wp_update_post()` to schedule an existing
 draft, it will not work unless you pass `$my_post->edit_date = true`.
 WordPress will ignore the `post_date` when updating drafts unless
 `edit_date` is true.

 I believe this is close to commit-ready.  I plan to commit next week, in
 particular please give feedback on the approach needed to change the
 signature and behavior of `rest_get_date_with_gmt`.
