[wp-xmlrpc] Future Publishing

[Daniel Jalkut]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Blogger API implementation in WordPress  
does not support this. I don't think many people use the older Blogger  
API, since then newer MetaWeblog, MovableType and WordPress APIs are  
more functional.

As for your structuring question, perhaps this MetaWeblog API  
reference will be helpful to you:
