Creative subtypes (audio and video) value 15 means VAST 4.3
VAST 4.3 inline documents, the newest version in the list. An AdCOM addition.
When to send it
Send 15 when the player parses VAST 4.3 inline documents. VAST 4.3 is the newest version that has a value in the list.
Buyers producing 4.3 creative look for 15, but most also produce documents a 4.1 or 4.2 player can read, so listing only 15 narrows demand without much gain. In Bid.protocol, send 15 only if the returned document actually declares version 4.3. It is confused with 16 (its wrapper) and with 13 (VAST 4.2).
