,well here is some bad news (according to my analysis). When solid body's bottom face is given contact and the surface body is given target (and we just agreed that it shouldn't matter if the Target Shell Face is set to TOP or BOTTOM, since the contact gets detected from nodes of contact face to nodes of surface body), the contact doesn't get detected (for the case shown below).
