This is not a new issue, many about the subject already exists and I think you 
guys also have a plan for an improved word count.

Please enhance the word count feature soon. I asked for improvements on the 
first day I tried OOo, years ago, YEARS! 

Some students at my university cannot use Writer for their assignments, their 
thesis or ANY of their work, because they may NOT count the words in foodnotes 
etc. What is worse is that by not including this feature in Writer, it is not 
clear to them whether Writer includes words from footsnotes etc. when it counts.

The word count feature in Word is rather impressing and it works perfectly for 
them. That is why I have not been able to convert a single of them to Writer.

You could improve the word count with a minimum of work and help the tens of 
thousands of academics that needs this feature and the clarification involved 
in it. 

After all, this feature has been present in MS Word for a decade! It feels kind 
of frustrating to wait for 2-3 years for a minor detail like this.
