I think those shouldn't be considered whitespace, so they shouldn't be stripped either.
Even if _PyUnicode_IsWhitespace doesn't match exactly the Unicode definition of White_Space, they both agree that ZWSP and ZWNBSP are not whitespace.  ZWNBSP is also used as BOM, and its usage as a zero-width space has been deprecated in favor of WORD JOINER (U+2060).  Similarly WJ is not considered a whitespace.
