(1) what are the use cases for someone wanting to move a single page but not both pages in the view? i personally can't think of one, so maybe i am missing something...perhaps, accessibility? (2) anecdotally, on the various pdf viewers i use --- acrobat (linux, mac, windows), evince (linux), skim (mac), preview (mac) --- the NextPage / PreviousPage behavior in Facing Pages mode appears to be consistent among all in that they move the view to the next / previous set of pages. to be clear, though, i'm simply using the arrow keys and/or PageUp / PageDown keys so am not sure i'm actually calling their respective PageNext / PagePrevious actions.
