I didn't get it to work in Emacs-w3m, be it lack of JavaScript
support or something else. Anyway the page and tool claims to
do this:

  Total Word Count
  Total Word Count (Excluding Common Words)
  Number of Different Words
  Different Words (Excluding Common Words)
  Number of Paragraphs
  Number of Sentences
  Words per Sentence
  Number of Characters (all)
  Number of Characters (a-z)
  Characters per Word
  Syllables
  Syllables per Word

Sure, if one had a CLI tool doing that, I would say it's
certainly a good start!
