 Clicking wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=...#edit_timestamp will
 end one up with two buttons, 1)OK, and 2)Update Post. This is a usability
 disaster, with differing results between them too. And indeed there
 are also two functionalities: A)Correcting a past date, and
 B)Scheduling a future date... all overloaded into the gamble.

 I'm saying offering the user two confirmation buttons is bad.

 Also overloading the two jobs A and B, confuses the user.
