I would avoid it, because if you have an XSL file that's called
file.txt.xsl in the same folder it would overwrite it. If the filename is
standard (nmap.xsl) at least you can be fairly sure it's something
nmap-related, but if the filename is arbitrary you can't guarantee it.

These are borderline cases, of course, but IMHO it's easier to avoid
problems if the filename has a random component in it.

Let me know!
