I haven't used [tmp] much, but my reading of the tag ref seems to indicate 
that [tmp] keys expire when page delivery is completed and the session is 
updated.  On the other hand, [scratch] keys, once set, will persist across 
multiple pages and generally don't expire until the session itself 
expires.  So use [tmp] when you only want to retain a value within one 
page, use [scratch] when you want to retain a value across several pages or 
for the duration of the user's session.

NOTE: I am surmising quite a bit here - anyone else care to comment?
