Question

Is it good/bad practice to use deep nested options when creation a jquery.ui.widget

Something like the below? If a user wanted to say after initialization change the option for height in outContainer css, would they have to replace the entire css object within options?

options: {
    views: null,
    transitionTypes: {
        showView: { transition:slide, mode:show},
        hideView: { transition:slide, mode:hide}
    },
    css: {
        outContainer: {
            height: '0',
            display: 'none'
         }
    }

}
