The datasheet contains the following regarding rails and brackets:
Cisco ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 5545-X, 5555-X spare rail kit - ASA-RAILS=
Cisco ASA 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X brackets for rack mounting - ASA-BRACKETS=
The word spare seems to imply that it comes with a set of rails. Does the ASA-5515-X come with rails and brackets, or must both of these be ordered?

Wow once again, thanks a lot!
My 4948Es shipped with the stubby brackets, however the purchased "rail kit" was actually just a 1 foot long stationary bracket so it would reach the end of the rack.
I guess these use sliding rails. Unless the ASA-BRACKETS= is the long 1 foot stationary bracket I'm thinking of? I think it's just a spare set of stubby brackets though.
EDIT:
I found an ASA-REAR-RACK=. I assume this is the 1 foot stationary bracket I speak of.

Would seem to me that the 3 first ASA5500-X models come with the usual barckets (in size) that you can find on the Cisco switches also.
The 2 last models come with the rails
Heres another document which seems to list the default "out of the box" setup more clearly
Check the Table 2.

As noted in the Q&A document linked by Jouni, the three lower end (and shorter) X Series include only the basic brackets, no rails. They are adequate for an open relay rack (2 post). Given a four post rack, I prefer the optional rail kit (ASA-RAILS=) as the appliance is more securely mounted in such a setup.
I believe the ASA-REAR-RACK= SKU is specifically for the 5585X
