Is a 'word count' maintained in this way (by examining each block of newly
created/destroyed text), or is the whole document scanned every time a word

It does seem strange (from a user point of view) that you have to choose an
'update' frequency for the wordcount dialogue... ...maybe I should just go an
read the source and see how it's done....
