- use wc (lines/words/chars count), e.g. "wc yourfile.lyx"
 to estimate the (relative?!) number of words

This will count the title, author's name and all markup as well as the body text.

- first convert to pdf, then
 use a tool that can count words in pdf documents, e.g.
 http://www.globalrendering.com/download.html
 http://www.handyarchive.com/free/word-count/
- let someone or yourself implement this great feature
 in lyx ;) I bet it is already a requested feature.
 This would be easy, just integrate one of the previous programs?

Thanks, all. I suspected the answer was "no" and you've all confirmed that. Off to emacs it is.
