Understood, and agreed. The scope note for E16 is clear that is for
measuring "physical properties ... by ... direct observation of particular
states".

A word count would be an Attribute Assignment of the Dimension to the
Linguistic Object, potentially using a particular specific object as a
witness for the symbols. Of course, I can count symbols in my head, but
then I am not observing the symbols physically, and therefore it is not a
Measurement.

If I am not able to be at the SIG session where this is discussed, please
count this as my vote in favor of the resolution of the issue.
