Borrowing from other terms, I've always just geussed temp=temporary and dub=mix, is tempdub ever used for anything else?
I think it is a grey area personally. If it didn't go on a stage, I would be leery of considering it a "proper" temp mix, but things have changed so much in the last few years, that it is negotiable.
