Looking at the current list of properties, there are seven that have
"width" as part of their name, and only one (extra-spacing-width)
where it's a pair of numbers. And according to the description of
extra-spacing-width, it would be more properly called
"extra-spacing-widths"; it refers to how much padding is put on both
sides of an item.
