D-015 AdCOM removed the codes of the legacy List: Placement Subtypes - Video, which OpenRTB 2.6's deprecated placement and VAST's [PLACEMENTTYPE] macro still cite, and whose codes clash with List: Plcmt Subtypes - Video. What does the registry hold?
What the schemas do
Plcmt Subtypes - Video, the list AdCOM publishes; the legacy list has no codes, so it becomes no vocabulary.
Options
Why
The legacy list's section holds only a note that it is deprecated as of an OpenRTB release, so AdCOM publishes no codes for it, and the registry holds what AdCOM publishes. The two lists' codes clash, 1 being In-Stream in the legacy list and Instream in the current one but 5 being Interstitial in one and Pause in the other, so a value can't say which list it comes from. The current list also says it is "sent using plcmt attribute in Object:Video", while AdCOM's VideoPlacement carries it as ptype.
What we ask the specification to state
Restore the legacy codes as a deprecated list, so that the VAST macro and OpenRTB 2.6's placement still resolve, and say in Plcmt Subtypes - Video that AdCOM's VideoPlacement.ptype carries it, beside OpenRTB 2.6's plcmt.
