Whilst I was against all seater stadia originally, I think it would be a backward step to re-introduce standing.
There could also be clubs who would "bend the rules" regarding numbers and stewarding would almost certainly become even more difficult than it is at the moment.
I certainly don’t think it would be a step backwards. I understand your reasons for wanting to sit, but those that still want to stand should be catered for. Personally I think it creates a better atmosphere, and I’ve yet to see a single fan at any ground remain seated to celebrate a goal.
When we played Liverpool at Wembley in 2010, a guy in front of me jumped up when we scored the 1st, and fell about 3 rows down, almost breaking his neck! Luckily he escaped unhurt.
Safe standing is a definite yes from me.
