Yes, I thought about something like this, but the screen space is really limited. But I agree, it's fairly crowded. One way would be to change the category from a list to a cycle button, but that would make it slower.The latest version (0.8-6) has proper documentation. Let's see if that is enough.

I thought about adding them, but after reading about it from the internet, I came to the conclusion that it might be really complicated as there are no real fixed standards. The common advice seem to be to try it before you buy it.

I personally have found out that the best practice when travelling, is simply to ask the person working in the store to help me out to find my size. Not only are they usually able to find the correct size, but they are also able to give me valuable advice like: "Sir, you really do not want to wear something like that. Trust me." A program could never be able to do something like that!
