To answer this question, we need for advertising 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:advertising> devices to give 
the dimension (or the size) of the display area of the billboard, 
/without/ the support, and as well the total height of the advertising 
device, /including/ the support. Common advertising devices are 4 m. 
length and 3 m. height then their size 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:size> would be 4*3, and their 
height <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:height> is 6 m.

If possible, the height of an advertising devices should be computed 
from /the lowest part/ of the device (if ground is not flat) and up 
to/the highest point/ of the billboard : an /average height/ has no 
meaning, at least for advertising regulations in some countries like 
France.
This is what is explained today in advertising 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:advertising> page, do you think 
this needs to be changed ?
