Are there any notification systems that operate on an "inbox zero" style mechanic? Arguably Quora's does (they drop off the flyout when read) but Quora's notification system is just so hideous I can't imagine that we'd want to take anything away from it.

I don't following the inbox metaphor is precisely what we're talking about here anyway, so let's not go down that rat hole. All I know is that having a dismiss action on an individual notification in the flyout jump straight to a preferences change defies best practices and definitely my own expectations, after having used the feature a bit.
