I have a request for the following feature that may ameliorate the
problem.

To help the user find the context, I suggest the following behavior:
Right after scrolling finishes, a horizontal line that runs across the
page flashes briefly that is located at the part of the document that
before scrolling was at the bottom of the viewport.  This feature should
be optional, off course.  Another approach is to instantly darken the
part of the document before the "context-line" upon scrolling and then
gradually fade it in over one second or less.

I don't think that scrolling exactly by the viewport height is going to
very user-friendly, because sometimes the bottom edge of the viewport
cuts across a text line, which can't be read because it's only partially
visible -- the scrolling should be for slightly less than a page.
