For this case I would use:

  SCHEDULED: <2013-02-09 Sat>

It seems I don’t get the point because when a TODO with repeater

  SCHEDULED: <2013-02-01 Fri +1w -3d>

is set to DONE the delay remains and this way also here I would not
use a delay but:

  SCHEDULED: <2013-02-04 Mon +1w>

The usefulness of a SCHEDULED delay I see together with a TODO and
repeater to implement an _exception_ (to simplify: exception just for
the first date, before the repetitions). For example

  SCHEDULED: <2013-02-01 Fri +1w -3d>

would mean: Usually start working on the entry earliest on the first
day of the month except [2013-02-01 Fri] when work can not start
before [2013-02-04 Mon]. It would start to show in the agenda on
[2013-02-04 Mon], [2013-03-01 Fri], [2013-04-01 Mon], [2013-05-01
Wed], [2013-06-01 Sat] etc. On let’s say [2013-02-05 Tue] it would be
set to DONE and would change to:

  SCHEDULED: <2013-03-01 Fri +1w>

Note the automatically removed delay.

Am I missing something?
