 > Thinking we may want to consider other stats too. For example total
 number of characters or letters (is that useful?), number of paragraphs,
 images, links, etc.

 > Also, another consideration is what to do for Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
 etc. languages. I'm not sure now word count works there, or even if it
 makes sense. As far as I know a word can be a single glyph or several
 glyphs long, each glyph being a syllable.
