GRO Certificate question

Does anybody know if the GRO PDF certificate option is available for births and deaths outside of the current scope of the GRO search facility?
For example, I have births and deaths from 1958 onwards that I would like to order certificates for. Can I get them on PDF at the reduced price, or would I still have to pay and have the full paper copy price?

The website says:-
Applications for PDF’s cost £6, must be made online and include a GRO index reference. England and Wales records available in this extended pilot include:
Births: 1837 –1917
Deaths: 1837 –1957

Sorry about that, the offer appears to be restricted to what they reckon to be the "old" years, no mention of whether this will ever be different or even whether they will ever include marriages, possibly not, but we live in hope.

Thanks guys - much appreciated.
Would be great if they could extend it to all years as well as marriages. Would also be nice if they could provide similar search for marriages and, maybe, include father's name.

Yes that would be wonderful but could well be pushing our luck to hope for it.
