[Avodah] Standing for birchos hashachar

[Dov Kay]

<<On a total tangent: The minhag seems to be to stand when the chazan says
birchos hashachar.  I could not find a reference to this in either the
Artscroll siddur or the MB.  Is there a source for this?  Is it similar to
Shochein Ad, when many people naturally stand up for some reason, even
though it is clearly not recognized as a minhag?>>

I seem to recall that Ishei Yisroel cites the M'kor Chaim as a source for 
standing during birchos hashachar.  There are many, many minhagim that never 
made it into MB.

I have never noticed people stand up especially for Shochen Ad, although I 
believe that we stand for Yishtabach so as to be in a position to go 
straight to kaddish without the slightest interruption.
