Not a silly question at all, I think.  Such statistics would be very interesting.

>Dear friends,
>just a short (and maybe silly?) question: Is anybody aware of some
    kind of statistics that considers to which extent the individual
    languages of the world are dealt with in the typological literature?
    It would be interesting to see where (and why !) there are both
    lacunae and statistic 'peaks'. The issue could be refined if one
    includes the classical linguistics domains such as phonology,
    morphology, syntax, semantics etc. Such a "World Atlas of
    Linguistics Data" (just to give it a name) would not only help
    motivating researchers to fill up lacunae, but also help
    understanding what the reasons may be for certain preferences...
