I think Rivendell and Grant are actually pretty forward about raising the seat to the proper height. My first time at Rivendell Grant spent 15 minutes helping me get a proper height on my Mercian, raising it 2-3 centimeters. So not so much a Racer thing as just a fact of riding bikes, you can't ride comfortably and still put your foot down toooo easily. Low bottom brackets help a bunch with this though. I absolutely recommend you keep the proper leg extension and just hop off the saddle when you need to put a foot down, or find a curb. I think if you lower it you will be sacrificing ride comfort in exchange for stop comfort.
