It'll be better if there are checkboxes next to each permission, and if the user doesn't grant a certain permission, the app can know.
Older apps targeting older API levels will receive fake data, whereas newer apps will be able to know whether they were actually granted the permission or not.
This would prevent apps (and app developers) from being left in the dark, and would also kill the "all or nothing" permissions model currently in place.
