I understand how mismatch in word count can happen by different  
definition on what word is, but how _same software_ can show different  
word count for HTML file and different for text file base only on file  
format (basically both plain text). HTML doesn't do anything what would  
change definition of a word thus mismatch in word count shouldn't be  
happening.

Writer shouldn't show different word count for odt file and different  
for docx file. Same for plain text and HTML.

Feel free to correct me as I want to understand this better.

Thanks,
