it should be measured from the feet

This. They should look at feet only, that seems like the most fair. And to add to that I'd say one foot of the attacker would have to be behind a defender's foot in its entirety for it to be offside, not just a toe.

Plus, generally it's easier to just tell with the feet as they're on the ground. No need for fancy graphs and close call lines.

I would ask you why you think track running isn't measured by the runner's feet then as well. Why does a runner cross a finish line when they cross with their head and shoulders?
