PIX: Confused about the from / to aspect of access list syntax

Confused about the from / to aspect of access list syntax

Cisco's docs say :

access-list acl_name [deny | permit] protocol source source_netmask destination destination_netmask

but I'm used to seeing configs with

static(inside,outside) xx.xx.xx.41 xx.xx.xx.11 netmask 255.255.255.255

access-list outside extended permit tcp any host xx.xx.xx.41 eq www

if the 241 is the outside we are letting into a webserver shouldn't the access list syntax use the destination (the web server) as the last ip address in it's statement ?

As in access-list outside extended permit tcp any host xx.xx.xx.11 eq www
