I have to agree with the other posters that this seems to be the wrong
idea. First of all, the danger is reasonably large that you
mark an entry DONE by accident, and then you will loose all state info
in the subtree.
Even the other way round, marking a parent DONE when all children are
is not something I would recommend. Because that assumes that your
planning is *complete* in the sense that the set of subtasks is
complete. I like to stand still for a moment when all these subtasks
are DONE, to decide if this really finishes the parent and then marking
it DONE.
