TRF371109: TRF371109, About the pastemask of offcial footprint.

Part Number: TRF371109

Hi

I am using TRF371109IRGZR in my design now, I downloaded the footprint (Ultra librarian) from the link provided on TI website. but the footprint is rather strange. we usually draw the pastemask (for stencil manufacturing) at pastemask layer, but the TI offcial footprint placed the pastemask at  solderpaste layer! why does TI do this?

I attached the footprint here. please help double check.
