Hello,
I am learning apache, and the ironic part is that reading the apache 
documentation on acl reinforced my doubt in this matter.

In this part:
In the following example, all hosts in the apache.org domain are allowed 
access; all other hosts are denied access.

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from apache.org

---
My interpretation on this example:

Order Deny,Allow   (allow everything, unless specifically denied)

Deny from all   (deny everything.. kind of contradictory after the last line)  

Allow from apache.org   (allow this specific hosts)

---
Why not use this, that has fewer steps and seems more logical?:

Order Allow,Deny   (deny by default)
Allow from apache.org   (allow this specific hosts)

I am getting it wrong or what? Why almost every example I see seems kind of 
contradictory?
