I think this is not the best possible setting: If I want to apply 
whiteout-outline now, I have to use two overrides. IMO it would be 
easier to use if we had the two properties
– whiteout [possibly whiteout-style], with options 'none, 'box, and 'outline
– and whiteout-padding (a number).
What do you think?

Yours, Simon
