We already have a simple implementation of a word count tool. See "A 
custom tool which counts the words found in the active document", 
https://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/gui_custom_tool.html

We'll consider making it a production level feature and releasing it as 
an optional add-on (e.g. to be install using "Options|Install Add-ons").
