What if you want to describe the file format on the web page and give
an example? What if you want to do a copy-paste from a text terminal?
What if you want to include a part of the file in a mail (e.g. for a
bug report)?

Also, the control character needs to be displayed by the editor under
some form, and it could be confused with normal characters.

IMHO, for all these reasons, it would be better to avoir control
characters (except for the end of lines, of course) and trailing
spaces.
