Because in the *current* state of the feature, those file(s) are
needed until after the user "submits" the data (since it isn't
sucked back into the page's data structs), and one may well want
to edit multiple text areas on the same page before submitting
it.

Hence a seperate file is needed for each text area (currently).

Now if I can figure out how to get the edited text back into the
page's data structures, a single temp filename could be reused
(there could *still* be a backup file to remove, though).
