Yes. But it is unclear on how to handle applications that could be
writing ever growing data.

An email client should open the file 'rw' in /tmp when it is formatting
the email before the final send. But writing an increasing data file,
like a console screen log, in /tmp should be incorrect.

There's no clear guideline on what should go into /tmp/.
