Ah, I see that the counts do disappear as soon as I do anything.  My
confusion came about because as soon as I invoke =org-wc-display=, my
buffer becomes /modified/ which led me believe that the counts were
actually inserted into the document.    As they are not inserted, please
ignore my previous comments.

However, it would be helpful if the modification flag were not changed
by asking for the word count.  I don't know enough elisp to suggest what
to change but you should be able to add the text properties without
causing the buffer modification flag to change?  Column view, for
instance, doesn't do this.

Thanks again,
eric
