    The docs say

    android:targetSdkVersion: This attribute informs the system that you
    have tested against the target version and the system should not
    enable any compatibility behaviors to maintain your app’s
    forward-compatibility with the target version. The application is
    still able to run on older versions

    If not set, the default value equals that given to minSdkVersion. Which indicates market will filter devices with lower sdk.

    target=android-sdk version in project properties file indicates Eclipse will not allow use methods or classes from sdk higher than
    this one.

    ie. One related to the development environment and other related to android devices.
