The Internet is a platform of openness. Some governments are already censoring parts of the internet, while others (such as India) are toying with the idea.
By tweaking the technology to include censorship in the standard, a government's demand for censorship can be better met by the Internet- and that doesn't align with the long term interests of the web.
I'd suggest: keep the Internet open and don't include censorship in the standard.
