Otherwise it counts words in the whole buffer. Looks useful, thanks! I'll let this discussion grow a bit until we have something we can perhaps include in Org. Also, counting words from Emacs is a frequent request from users. If your solution for Org could be integrated into a more general solution for Emacs (working on various modes), that would be a win.
