While you are right about the cross platform considerations, I don't understand this:
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;
The platform honours sticky-directory permissions so that the created temporary file remains accessible with permissions of the users home directory
&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

?!  Accessible to who?  In general you really only want the user creating the file to have access to the temporary file. That's one of the problems with /tmp in the first place.
