That's an interesting question. Standing for alms at a household would 
depend on the particular arrangements for the almsround in that time and 
place. I am not entirely sure but I think that a Buddhist monk would 
accept alms from anyone who offers while on his round. The situation is 
different where the begging round is no longer normally kept up, as in 
Sri Lanka.
