I understand the problem, but given the separation between the export
framework and its back-ends, it's difficult to do so. 

Indeed, variables are bound in the temporary buffer copy created for the
translation but back-ends commands are only given a string (or a buffer
or a file name) containing the output. At this time, the copy isn't
alive anymore.

IOW, there are a few variables that cannot be set using BIND keywords.
On the other hand, they still can be set with file local variables.
