Well peing while standing will always spread piss around the room, even if you can't see it. I don't know, why you would even want to stand in a private bathroom. It is more relaxing to sit down. And really pulling down your pants and back up doesn't take that much time. The lid should be closed at all times, so particles don't spread as much through vaporization and things can't fall in. Don't understand the judges ruling though. He damaged the floor, if wanted or not, if it needs to be replaced because of his habits, he pays for it. If I smoke in the room or destroy the furniture I should have to pay for that as well, when I move out.
I am pro unisex bathrooms, although that would probably mean longer queues for men. Gets rid of the fear of the other sex, makes people care more about how they behave there and thus cleaner bathrooms and will probably make them increase the privacy of the individual stalls. Should keep the pissoirs though, if possible.
Never understood people though being afraid to sit on the public toilet. Just put some toilet paper on it and voila, you don't touch the germs of someone else with your butt.
