I think it would make sense to make `n' jump to the beginning of the
next page (and `p' go to the bottom of the previous page) when
doc-view-continuous is non-nil.

For M-g M-g, maybe as well (again conditional on doc-view-continuous).

Of course, I also think that doc-view-continuous should ideally render
all the pages at the same time in the buffer (stacked vertically), so
you can scroll through them with the usual scrolling commands, but that
will take a good bit more work.
