I think the explanation should be clarified to distinguish this state from aria-activedescendant. Your example provides a hint as to what the differences are, but (confusion being a real risk here), an explicit discussion would be valuable. To be specific, an element may be "current" in this sense, and styled as such, regardless of where the user agent's focus happens to be. It neither indicates selection (as the text notes) nor focus, but rather that this item is the current member of a set of similar or related items.

The examples are of course helpful.
