Thanks for pointing me to those. Looks like texWordCount is an  
alternative.
My adapted version of Ramon Figueroa-Centeno's applescript could also  
use that one.

I asked the maintainer of texWordCount to submit it to CTAN such that  
it makes it way into TeXLive, ebentually.

Any ideas other than detex + wc for Character-Counting?
