See `locale-language-names' and comments in it. The major problem is
interpreting the codeset part in terms of a coding system since the
names are quite variable.
I don't know how the equivalent is supposed to work in MS Windows &
al.
It sounds like you are saying that there's a more-or-less standard
for GNU and Unix systems, but that Windows is different. Is that right?

If you don't try to interpret it, Emacs probably won't behave
consistently with other programs.
We are miscommunicating. Of course Emacs should pay attention to the
locale, as well as it reliably can do so. What I said is that Emacs
should not *rely on* an external mechanism such as locales for
customization. It should provide an Emacs-natural customize mechanism
*also*.
