It is created according to the XDG spec. We shouldn't fail to do it. And
maybe, Emacs will add an own trash recovery function, which would be
able to handle such remote paths?

We must be consistent. A remote trash command will move the file to the
remote trash can. Tramp, using move-file-to-trash, will move the file to
the local trash can. A user couldn't know, whether a trash can for a
remote file will be located locally or remotely. So we shall use either
a remote or a local trash can, and not mixed.

The local trash can can be used always. The remote trash can can be used
only, when the remote system offers the "trash" command. This doesn't
happen by default.

Best regards, Michael.
