Consider what would happen if you wanted to allow apache.org but deny foo.apache.org. Add a "Deny from foo.apache.org" to both, and the behaviour is different - the former will allow it, but the latter will deny it. The former also makes it more explicit what is happening, whilst the latter relies on the person reading it understanding what "Order Allow,Deny" means.
