It's a good idea. What we were thinking about implementing is under the 'dismiss all' link, there would be a 'mark all read' link. That way you could choose which behavior you wanted.

Since this is likely to lead to people leaving lots of things in their notification page, you may want to consider a rule like "notifications that have been read disappear after n days". That way, if you dismiss nothing, your notifications page shows you your last week (or month or whatever) of activity.

Something like that already exists if I can remember correctly. I think there is a limit around something like the most recent 1000 notifications. I'd have to look. It's been a bit since I implemented it.
