IPC-7352 incorrect table content?

   Hello, 
I believe that table 3-6 "Leadless Components with Concave/Castellated Termination" cannot be correct. Let's take the Nominal column, here the Toe would be 0.15mm and the Heel 0.45mm. 
In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense to pull the pad that far back. Also confusing is the note "to find Z dim" next to the Heel(JH). The formula for Z (overall length of land pattern) is: 
Z = Lmax +2xJt 
This therefore has nothing to do with the Heel.
In my opinion, the table values of Toe and Heel are swapped.
Do you see it that way too?"

Best regards
Johannes

	I think you are correct. IPC got the Toe and Heel values backward.
