Even if you can do it (i.e. report the local time difference from UTC), it would work only for the CURRENT local time. The timezone file is used also for time in the past (and can be used for future times), e.g. for displaying file times by `ls'. Surely you don't intend to transmit the full local timezone file (several KB) for each time query.
