Does ratpoison currently have a way to get commands from stdin?  Because then 
you could just do

  #!/usr/bin/ratpoison --stdin
  <ratpoison commands>

instead of 

  DATE=`date -Iseconds`
  cat <<EOF > /tmp/script_$DATE
  <rp commands>
  EOF
  ratpoison -c "source /tmp/script_$DATE"
  rm -f /tmp/script_$DATE
