The idea of the "size <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:size>" attribute was to provide the length*height*width of the advertising device itself (without the support), while the "height" attribute of the advertising device gave the total height ("height above ground") of the advertising device ("Height" previously had this meaning).

Can we keep the "height <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:height>" meaning generally speaking : "height" is "height of the feature", but have a specific meaning of "height" for advertising device : "height above ground" (if it is clear and well explained in this context) ? And in that case use the "size" attribute to provide the form factor of the advertising device ?

Thanks

    If "height" is "height of the feature" and not "height above
    ground", not a problem but how can we store this second height
    "height above ground" ? For example for an advertising device ,
    the display surface of the advertising is supported by legs, then
    we need to distinguish the height of the surface dedicated to the
    advertising from the height of the device including the support.
    Classic advertising billboard is 4m width * 3 m height, and is
    supported on 3 m legs , therefore the total heigth is 6 m.



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
