Please take that discussion to the capport WG ([email protected]).

However, it seems like you want to address filtering/censorship more
than you want to address the captive portal case.  I can say that the
capport WG isn't interested in anything that might improve filtering
or censorship and are explicitly designing mechanisms that avoid doing
so.  I won't say that you can't raise the issue, but you should be
aware that this topic has been discussed quite a bit already and
unless you have new information, I doubt you will change the
conclusions.
