In Unicode, FF at least has line-breaking semantics. I believe VT
does as well. So they are not deleted because they aren't trailing
whitespace, they break the trail themselves.

Because they create vertical whitespace, and delete-blank-lines is
intended to close it up. I can see an argument for not deleting them,
too, so I would want to hear from users about their use cases.
