COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

After further discussion, I see that draft-09 does indeed address my Discuss -
the user-portal-url is optional in practice, just something the api design has
to cover.

I found the terminology around “Captive Portal API server” and “Captive Portal
Server” to be a little confusing, as these are similar terms. The latter also
doesn’t get its own discussion in Section 2 and is confusingly called the “web
portal server” in Figure 1.

After Figure 1, this seems to be consistently called the “web portal” (sec 2.6
and 4). In the API doc it is called a "user portal." It would be great to unify
the terminology across the documents as a whole.
