Query about intent of aria-expanded

ARIA folks,

 

This came up in discussion recently. The definition for aria-expanded says:

 

“Indicates whether the element, or another grouping element it controls, is
currently expanded or collapsed.”

 

This implies that aria-expanded can be put on an element that itself
expands/collapses, or on an element that controls the expand/collapse of
another grouping element. Is this what was intended?
