If we do this, could we make it work for scheduled repeated sending?

I am thinking of something like daily, on a specific day of the week, first of
the month, etc. and also a time for each of those. 

A specific time might not work I guess or at least not exactly. Maybe something
like "after 8:00" and then the first cron run after that time would run it and 
set a 'last run on' date?
