Wouter,

WDT has RC based clock witch changes its parameter on
Temperature change and reset time changes too.
I used PIC WDT to measure temperature worked fine.
WDT idea is good but the technology needs to be updated.

myself.

That is what I understood as well, although more specifically why not
use it
at high temperatures?

I suspect that is related to the temperature dependency of the WDT, as
others have noted (specifically Jinx, who has done a base calibration of
a
16F84 against temperature IIRC). Hence I would suspect that at elevated
temperatures the WDT time may get very short, so one would need to clear
it
more often. Could be a "gotcha when doing ambient bench development
without
checking at temperature extremes.
