I'm not sure we should even show byte counts by default. It must be very
confusing for newbies (especially if they don't know what a byte is).
And it clutters up the UI.
Perhaps make it optional and disable by default? It's mostly targeted at
experienced users anyway.
If we'd make it optional, I don't think your proposal would be any
problem (and as a Wikipedian I'd love to have that feature!).
