As Mr. Dog said, "mark above as read" would be a very, very welcome. Often, in a feed or category with hundreds of unread articles, I scroll down to the first headline I find interesting, then want to mark as read only the articles whose headlines I skipped over. Google Reader permitted this with a Chrome extension; hopefully This Old Reader will add the feature by default.
