You can do that, but it would still be quite complex to implement
this using the current code base.
- The anchor handling would need major changes to keep track of
the visible anchors.
- Scrollbar, "jump to location", tap actions and several other
features must be inactive while this "auto-scroll" feature is
active and when you turn it off you must be able to return to
a sane state.
- Large images (i.e. height > 160 pixels) are not "wrap around"
friendly, so they would be a complete mess.
In essence, this kind of feature is OK for text-only documents,
but a big PITA for more complex documents ;-)
Of course, one could decide that this "auto-scroll" feature will
only work for text-only documents, i.e. if you activate it for
more "complex" documents, images and anchors will be "removed".
