Thanks for your feedback.

In relation to the first, the behaviour of LaTeX is even more subtle; if
the reference is on the same page it should say 'on this page'; if
single page mode is on, it should say 'on the previous page' 'on the
next page' if the reference is to one of those pages; if two page mode
is on, it may, as appropriate, also say 'on the facing page'.

But perhaps we should make that subtlety clearer.
