Subject: subject and target for traps

In RFC1448, section 4.2.6, trap destination was defined as:
...
          (1)  The value of aclSubject refers to the SNMPv2 entity.
... 
          Then, for each entry satisfying these conditions, a SNMPv2-
          Trap-PDU is sent from aclSubject with context aclResources to
          aclTarget....

In draft-ietf-snmpv2-proto-ds-01.txt the roles of subject and target are
reversed:

...(1)  The value of acTarget refers to the generating SNMPv2 entity.        |
...
...Then, for each entry satisfying these conditions, a SNMPv2-Trap-PDU is    |
sent from acTarget with context acContext to acSubject....

My question is whether the change is intentional or a typo (a couple of them
actually...).
If it is intentional, can anyone explain to me what's the rationale behind
the change?

Thanks.
