I find the entire definition difficult to read and jibe/validate against the examples. However, if this is expressed in terms of a flag being set in a particular order then it makes more sense to me. Here are some proposed definitions: Order Allow, Deny: Initially a flag for each incoming URL is set to Deny. Then all Allow directives (i.e. "Allow foobar.org") are applied followed by all Deny directives regardless or which order the Allow and Deny directives appear after the Order directive. Order Deny, Allow: Initially a flag for each incoming URL is set to Allow. Then all Deny directives (i.e. "Allow foobar.org") are applied followed by all Allow directives regardless of which order the Allow and Deny directives appear after the Order directive. Ironically, now when I read the online definition I understand them. But, the wording is still obtuse and difficult to digest the first time it is read.
