DAAST-1.0-pricing-model
DAAST `<Pricing>` is missing the required model attribute
ErrorDAASTIAB DAAST 1.0 §3.1.4.1DAAST 1.0 and 1.1 (all DAAST documents)
Short answer
The <Pricing> element in DAAST requires a model attribute that identifies the pricing model. Without it the price value cannot be interpreted.
Why this matters in production
This rule is usually a delivery blocker. Many players, SDKs, and ad servers will discard the response or skip the affected creative once this condition is hit. DAAST rules validate the structural and semantic requirements specific to digital audio ad serving. Audio-specific fields like Category, AdInteractions, and audio MediaFile attributes are required by the spec and are absent from standard VAST validation. Affected scope: DAAST 1.0 and 1.1 (all DAAST documents).
