How come it is 80x25 instead of 80x24 (default dimensions for XTerm)?

Interesting, I never noticed that 80x24 resolution. Apparently it's been inherited from VT100.

Now 80x25 was the standard text mode of IBM PC, which I'm much more familiar with. I used it because I was testing (over telnet) on some retro ones.
