• height of spire, statues (or any other architecturally integral element) count towards the height of the building
• height of antenna, flagpole (or other detail not classified as architecturally integral element) does not count towards the height of the building
• roof height is only relevant if no higher architecturally integral element is present

A comparison of
Sears Tower (#4)
Taipei 101 (#1)
Petronas Towers (#2-3)
Empire State Building (#10)

This naturally hurts the rankings of buildings without spires, or with antennas instead of spires. The most famous such discrepancy is that Malaysian Petronas Towers (with spire on top) is ranked higher than the US Sears Tower (with antenna on top) despite having lower roof and lower highest point (of spire/antenna).
