Unfortunately for you, they may never do this because it conflicts
with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

"Pressing Page Up or Page Down scrolls the document up or down one
page. If an entire page can’t be displayed in the window, these keys
first scroll incrementally up or down, until the top or bottom of the
page is visible, before scrolling to the next page. These keys should
also work in scrolling lists.

If the beginning or end of the document is reached, pressing Page Up
or Page Down produces a system alert sound. Pressing the Page Up or
Page Down key has no effect on the location of the insertion point or
selected data."
