Well, the logical order is: first you introduce the face, then you
use it, then you document it.  So it'd be nice to have the log message
read this way, top to bottom.  In your case, it was in the reverse
order, probably because "C-x 4 a" puts the entries in LIFO order.

Admittedly, this is a very minor aesthetic issue.

Will do, thanks.
