When to send it

Send 16 when the player follows VAST 4.3 wrappers. It is the highest value in the list.

Buyers returning a 4.3 wrapper check for 16. As with every wrapper value, leaving it out tells buyers that only inline documents of that version are acceptable. It is confused with 15 and with 14 (VAST 4.2 Wrapper).
