We in the industry understand that storage height - when applied to solid piles - refers to the top of storage. When one moves over to the world of racks it makes no sense to start defining top of storage to mean the top shelf of a rack or shelving unit.

You can't have a load beam at 10' and a 10' high pallet load on top while claiming it is only 10' storage. That is 20' storage all day, everyday.
