Comment (by mnelson4):

 >  I think using scheduled: true in that situation would be confusing.

 oooh ok. Ya I misunderstood. So draft posts with a date are like
 scheduled/future posts, except the author clicked "Save Draft" instead of
 "Schedule". So basically `post_date_gmt=0000-00-00 00:00:00` indicates
 what could be called a "scheduled draft", right?  (Although I don't think
 anyone else uses that term.)
 Anyways, ya ok, so `date_floating` is better.
