That style of notation is more of the "paid for" notation we're all familiar with. Something you'd find in a tab book along the front row of shelving at record stores (remember those!). For those of us who were in the internet tabs heyday: this was a delicacy - among simply things like having correct notation. The whole point of tab is it's shorthand mentality (As I'm sure you're aware of). It can mean whatever you want it to mean. I grew up learning guitar on a tab system created by my teacher, which I've never really seen duplicated before, but was based off of chord diagrams (even for non-chords).
