People writing their own templates can use any file extension (some popular choices are "tmpl" or "cum" to indicate they are Cumulus templates). To ensure that the template files and generated web pages cannot be confused, Steve Loft realised the "T" notation used by the provided templates may not be part of the name you choose, hence the generated file will have "tmp" added to the end of the template name you selected, just to remind you of its temporary existance until the source template is processed again.
