My preference would be to have arpeggioXXX only apply to Staff.Arpeggio, and
have no TabStaff stuff in these commands at all.

so 

arpeggioNormal = {
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'X-extent
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'arpeggio-direction
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'dash-definition
}

and so forth.  And then put a note in the docs that the arpeggioXXX commands
do not apply to TabStaff.

Thanks,
