I think I wouldn't mind doing some whiteboard pseudo-coding, to brainstorm on an algorithm for instance. To design an algorithm or sketch an architecture, I don't need Internet access.

Of course I wouldn't accept any critic on syntactic mistakes or even coding style, but I could explain out loud how I construct the initial steps of a program.

I would also let explicit comments like "//google a solution for that" or "//find a library that does this"

Bang on. This is totally great just if the companies doing the white boarding interviews accept this kind of interactions. Most of them don't, and that is what white board interview enthusiasts are missing to consider.
