What do you mean by that? Send an event in advance to make sure it's published at desired time?

That should be straightforward to implement by just putting a future date on a note and having relays keep those hidden until the time comes.

I think this has two important use cases. For example,

use case 1: Usually in marketplaces for products and services there are usually payment contracts. So, this issue is interesting if you want to manage paydays in notes or events as lnbits/nostrmarket, Help with invoice payment, NIP-15 Nostr marketplace, NIP for marketplace useful?.
use case 2: this can prevent spam, something like graylisting as email

That should be straightforward to implement by just putting a future date on a note and having relays keep those hidden until the time comes.

great idea!

use case 4: this allows users to want to use nostr… because they(users) will make money. It is a relationship of mutual exchange between different parties. Most clouds like Mega-nz-co etc, Google drive have business models that work through a monthly, yearly contract… where the user stores stuff on the server side and in return the company gets a monthly cash , annual etc while keeping these user stuff stored securely. Protocols like fileicon address this concept.
use case 5: you could configure when your messages or account will be deleted. There is an open proposal here about this: Feature: auto-delete: "Some third-party services offer auto-delete feature for Twitter (example: delete all tweets that is one month old). Maybe NIP-09 can be expanded to include this auto-delete feature. One implementation would be to include an "expireAt" property on all tweets (notes) for accounts that decides to enable this auto-delete feature."
use case 6: Temporary email servers have a time to receive, send or hang up messages.
