No, the real reason not to build anti-censorship schemes into the
standards is that it is doomed to failure.

Agreed.  However, it could still be useful towards that aim, on a
small-group scale, to have a communications protocol (or suite
thereof) that would be *resistant* to censorship, at least of the
kinds currently common.  Most likely, something that would serve as a
carrier for something else -- and be more inconspicuous than IPsec.
Maybe something that an IPsec tunnel could be hidden in, with stego,
splitting, random onion routing, and recombination?  Or maybe a suite
of protocols each aimed at one of these, with ability to combine (or
rather, nothing preventing combination)?
