This is quite nice.  Thanks!

I cannot help you with the mark problem; hopefully others can.

One suggestion, however: I wonder if you could introduce the word count
in a different way?  I do use my headings and having the dots and the
actual count inserted is not great (although easy work around:
org-wc-display and then undo immediately after looking at the
counts...).  Maybe you could automatically define a tag for each
heading, something like :wcNNNN:?  Of course, this won't be good for
anybody that wishes to export documents *with* tags...

Anyway, I've incorporated your code into my emacs configuration.  Thanks
again!
