It's there as much for flow readability as anything...

The change of order was as much referring to moving the Playback forward 
from the voice handling macro, to give * time to hear the fax beep.

Show Dialplan gives :-

<In each of my inbound call contexts>
'fax' =>      1. Macro(faxreceive)               [pbx_config]

No other mention at all.
