Holy thread bump, Batman!
I don't open the reservoir cap when I change the pads, but I do make sure to pump the brake pedal a couple of times after doing each corner to reseat the pistons on the pads. I don't wait until all four corners are done before pressing the brake pedal--I would be concerned that the brake fluid reservoir would overflow.
I would also think that, by opening the bleed screws on the calipers, you could run the risk of getting brake fluid all over the calipers and damaging the finish.
