They are their own faces -- and inherit from common font-lock faces.  We
use this pattern all over Emacs to define faces, and it allows us to (by
default) have a smaller number of colour combinations to define.

If users want to change the outline faces, they can do so.  It's perhaps
slightly surprising that changing the font-lock faces also results in
changing the outline faces, but I think we can live with that.

Closing.
