[wp-xmlrpc] exposing draft posts and listing all posts

[Daniel Jalkut]

Having one code path for the default date sounds like a good idea to  
me, but since the gist of that bug I referenced is to fix the behavior  
of leaving the date NULL for drafts, it might make sense to leave  
xmlrpc.php alone (with the desired behavior) until the bug is fixed  
for all of WP.
