Not all platforms support these environment variables, some may not be
entirely safe to pass. Worse, as far as I know, there is no
standardisation in locale names between operating systems.

The SSH protocol doesn't really have a locale negotiation mechanism (it
does have a "language" negotiation, but it is unclear how that should
be interpreted). If you want to add locale-passing to SSH, I think it
would be best to take it up on the IETF secsh working group mailing
list, but naively passing environment variables is not sufficient.
