But doesn't this mean that the counter should know a lot about how the output will look? I mean, whether the references appear as numbers, of more verbose author/year, or whether et al kicks in after one of more first names, etc...? Even then, counting words is very inexact. For example, how many words is this equation?

\begin{equation}
P(\mathbf{n}) = \mathbf{n!}\,P_1^{n_1} P_2^{n_2}\cdots = \mathbf{n!}\,W(\mathbf{n}) \frac{e^{-\beta M}}{q^{N}}.
\end{equation}

TS says 9, WordService says 12, and DropCount does not count any. Let the editor figure it.
