PAF end coordinates

The PAF documentation https://github.com/lh3/miniasm/blob/master/PAF.md says start and end coordinates are both 0-based, but in minimap2 alignments I see end coordinates that equal the length of the input sequence, eg:
tig00000001 57346 0 12636 + tig00000002 30918 18322 30918 12158 12661 0
Does this mean the end coordinates are non-inclusive? So the above alignment, 1-based and inclusive, would include bases 1-12636 of tig00000001 and bases 18323-30918 of tig00000002? Please could you clarify this in PAF.md?
Thanks
John

These are BED-like intervals. I have just made a change to clarify this.

Thanks - please could you update the target fields as well?
