After some test, it appears, that:
- on vfat, windows puts trashed files in a directory named "Recyled";
- on ntfs, windows puts trashed files in a directory named "RECYCLER".

My point was just that the .Trash directory is currently also showned on
vfat partition mounted on windows, so if it's weird for ntfs, it is also
weird for vfat.
I agree vfat is more widely used and trash support missing on ntfs would
bug few people, however according to theses bugs reports [1][2], some
people use ntfs on usb disk or local partition, and I don't see any
drawback to enabling trash on ntfs (at least no more than on vfat).
