If there's working group consensus to add it to the current API draft then
definitely add it. Otherwise, probably a separate document that would need
a call for wg adoption.
Separately, and hopefully without starting a massive bikeshed, is there a
more apt word than "remediation"? I think this specific word carries the
connotation of "fixing an error" or "correcting damage" and it seems like
the use here would be broader. But perhaps I'm completely mistaken.

Some CP vendors want to specify a different URL specifically tailored
for remediation of a session. By providing a 3rd URL, we can accommodate
this use case.

if a remediation URL is present, and if it fails to load for whatever
reason, no need to fallback to user portal URL: CP vendor should make sure
the remediation URL is working properly (this is similar to user-portal url
should work properly, if not, there is no other way for user to clear a CP)

A boolean field could also be a positive signal to notify UE
