"ConstrainedInternetAccess" is confusing.

[JeffMill]

"ConstrainedInternetAccess 2 Limited internet access. This value indicates captive portal connectivity,"

However, the same page reads: “This doesn't guarantee detection of a captive portal. ”

This should be clarified, e.g. "It’s an indication that the connection might be constrained due to a captive portal, but that isn't the only reason. It might be due to a proxy between the client and the Internet for example, that’s modifying the HTTP header in some unknown way.
