Comment (by azaozz):

 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.
