What is the status of those angle brackets (U+300A and U+300B) with respect to
the URL standard?

Their Unicode category is "Punctuation, Open" and "Punctuation, Close"
respectively, and their Emacs syntax is "open" and "close" respectively.

In the meantime, here's how you can customize Emacs to do what you want:

(push '(url "--:=&?$+@-Z_[:alpha:]~#,%;*《》" "^[:alnum:]" ":;.,!?")
      ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist)
