There are N faces, nicely documented in `whitespace.el'.
Why not put this info in the doc?
`whitespace-space' highlight SPACE
`whitespace-hspace' highlight HARD SPACE
`whitespace-tab' highlight TAB
`whitespace-newline' highlight NEWLINE char mapping
`whitespace-trailing' highlight trailing blanks
`whitespace-line' highlight "long" lines
`whitespace-space-before-tab' highlight SPACEs before TAB
`whitespace-indentation' highlight 8+ SPACEs at bol
`whitespace-big-indent' highlight big indentation
`whitespace-empty' highlight empty lines at bob/eob
`whitespace-space-after-tab' highlight 8+ SPACEs after TAB
(Quickly abbreviated from the commentary - not suggesting
that those are the best descriptions. E.g., what is a newline
char mapping? what is "big" indentation?)

That would be OK too. But the mode help is where I think
it belongs.
> Is there a syntax for that?
Dunno - not that I can think of.
