... and if the FCC doesn't mandate it, maybe we'll see some
self-labelling, just like the some food producers have been

Agreed. Something describing Internet service, and breaking it
down into "essential components" such as:
- end-to-end IP (NAT/NO NAT)
- IPv6 availability (Y/N/timeline)
- transparent HTTP redirection or not
- DNS catchall or not
- possibilities to enable/disable and cost
- port filtering/throttling if any (P2P, SIP, ...)
- respect of evil bit
