IMO the offside law should be changed to clear daylight (ir similar term) between the attacking and defending players and not millimetres of a foot being ahead of play. If any part of the body is level it's onside.
Agreed.
The idea behind the offside rule, like handball, fouls and so on, is simply to prevent a team from getting an unfair advantage. Having a toe a millimetre over an imaginary line is not an unfair advantage and shouldn’t be penalised.

This only shifts the imaginary line to a different spot. You'll still have cases where the player is offside by a millimeter. It doesn't eliminate the problem.
