You have to understand that stickers in LDraw are a compromise. Real stickers aren't 2LDU thick, but LDraw stickers are, and the reason that they are is due to rendering considerations. (Making them much thinner would likely result in bad rendering.) So having white sides and back would result in a visible white stripe that's much thicker than the actual sticker. Similarly, edge lines are disallowed to prevent the eye from being drawn to the edge of the sticker.
