Plus, one could follow the good practice of including the process ID
in the file name where there is one available (on OS X of course;
don't know about windows).

Actually, it's even faster to do something like
if TemporaryFolder <> nil then
return TemporaryFolder.Child("temp" + Format(10000000000*Rnd,
"#") + ".html"
else
return nil
end if
Assuming TemporaryFolder <> nil, a few iterations can push the
probability of failure below that of a hardware error.
