the rcparams are stored in a sub-class of dict which does both name and
value validation on the way in. This is controlled by the class-level
attribute `validate` (which is a dict mapping from key-name -> validation
function). In principle you could update this dict to add rcparams on the
fly, however if the plotting functions don't know to look at the rcparams
they won't have any effect. To add new rcparams you need to modify the
upstream code.
There is a PR to add spine-related rcparams (
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2702) but it has not been
active in a while.
