I would certainly agree. In my view the capport WG should be building a model 
to prevent that happening, through prior discovery of the portal.

As an aside, I wonder whether the recently defined MPD architecture can be used 
as at least one architecture to consider for capport - see 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7556. The opening work items of the updated mif 
charter seem to fit - https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mif/charter/, and it’s 
certainly not uncommon for a device to be presented with multiple captive 
portals in many locations. Or at the very least a 3G/4G interface and a WiFi 
interface that may see one captive portal (as per 4.1 of RFC 7556).
