Hi Josh,
Thanks for your comment!
This is a hack, but in some cases creation of temporary files is undesirable. For example, you cannot guarantee that the temporary file gets deleted which may be a security issue (e.g. if the file has confidential information). Also, in some cases (such as Documents.Open), Word would lock the temp file, making it impossible to ever delete it.
Do you have specific objections to listening to a TCP port from a VSTO customization?

Holy unnecessary hacks, Batman! I hope this doesn't actually wind up in someone's production code. I'd be pretty miffed if an Office add-in started listening on a TCP/IP port, regardless of whether or not it was just on the loopback adapter.
