Removing the need to add extra third party code or writing your own "capture" system. Surely this would be a good addition to the spec, it would mean less spam for everybody and make it easy for web developers to implement.

CAPTCHAs create serious accessibility barriers in pretty much any meaningful implementation. Further, the only purpose of a <captcha> element, as far as I can tell, would be to offload the burden of providing and processing a CAPTCHA to the user agent. This would mean that pretty much anyone with the least bit of technical skill could circumvent the challenge.
