I totally agree with this.

I think the roof definition is best. Highest occupied floor would be my second best option, but there is still functional space in the building (the occupiable space above that floor). Its a complete farce that spires are still counted in building heights. I wish at least this site would change until CTBUH gets its bureaucratic act in line.
