<div>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?
