More google searching on this and requiring to correct my previous assertions... "LC_ALL=C" is equivalent to "LC_ALL=POSIX". Just using "LC_ALL=" does require "LANG=" as if LC_ALL is unset it then looks at the LANG variable.
So the following all are equivalent (I think...): LC_ALL= LANG= LC_ALL=C <- my vote LC_ALL=POSIX
Also, LC_ALL= LANG= does not seem to work if LC_MESSAGES is set. So I guess you have to use LC_ALL= LANG= LC_MESSAGES= I would also prefer to just use LC_ALL=C everywhere if that is possible.
