Some form of unambiguous output from printenv
would be nice.  I would suggest quoting both the
variable name and the value just to be on the safe side.

Even better:  modify 'env' to support
that format as input.  Then you could
use, e.g.,
   printenv -q >saved_environment
to record the environment and then use
   env - -r saved_environment <command>
to recreate that environment.
