yes, we'll need a tag for height above ground. There is min_height, but it
seems to require a building for some strange reason, and more strangely, to
redefine "height": https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:min_height

it really is a pity, it is the analogous problem of building:levels which
according to the wiki are not indicating the number of building levels but
the number of building levels plus some imaginary, non existent building
levels. It's really crazy.

Cheers,
Martin
