Word count can be inaccurate

I've spotted an issue with the word counter, and I'm not sure how to solve it (easily). The issue is that any code to strip HTML ends up concatenating words that are only separated by HTML tags.

For example:

<p>One</p><p>Two</p><p>Three</p>

This should result in a word count of 3, but because the text being returned from the element is OneTwoThree the word count is calculated as 1.

Any code that strips HTML will return the same result.

This is clearly a bug, but how does one fix it when it's so prevalent? Putting a space before each closing paragraph tag seems like a smelly hack.
