Help me to solve this enigma, the GNOME support or not the Trash Spec?
In which version?
I understand that there is a protocol implementation of trash:/ but it seems
that is not yet used by nautilus.

Ideally I would prefer an implementation that uses the Windows Recycle Bin
data structure in a NTFS, or FAT partitions.
But I don't know if there is a publicly specification of these data
structures and how it could be easy find and implement them (the ReactOs has
a Recicle Bin?).

>From another perspective there are many usb stick with VFAT partition that
are used only on non Windows systems, on these cases the Windows native data
structure is not needed and the shared .Trash/ dir could be useful.

In any case I think that the .Trash/shared directory should be used only
after ask to create it.
For example an implementation could ask to the user "I'm not able to trash
this file because theres is not a trashcan, can I create it?".
