I have a buddy that we always share the chore with. There have been times when I have to bleed them alone. I cut a stick that goes from the front of the seat to the depressed brake pedal. With bleeder open I press the pedal down and install the stick. Then I go back under and shut the valve. Repeat, repeat, repeat....It's pretty horrible but it does work fine. When my buddy and I work together it takes exactly two beers each to perform the task. Pretty much a win/win. I DO think the valves sound like a great idea, but it's nice sometimes not to be working alone.
