you know, you dont have to do both (at least not at the same time :)
they were suggested at the same time but besides that they are only
loosely connected.

now that you suggest style in terms of statistics i remember a user
requesting some sort of "count unique words" feature (which if i recall
correctly some other pulishing application he used was able to do),
although i cannot seem to find a relevant bug report/feature request.

hmm, found the thread,
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-user/02/Apr/0089.html
but still cant find any mention of it in bugzilla.

Perhaps someone can give a detailed explantion of this feature in
QuarkExpress, as it might serve as a useful comparison.
