How does a developer know when the aria-expanded goes on the expander
and when it goes on the thingie getting expanded?

I thought you'd put aria-expanded=true/false on the hidden/shown p
there, not the controlling link. The link doesn't itself expand
or contract.

I know the specs say either way, but that's 100% unhelpful for
stupids like me trying to figure out which of the 2 ways actually
makes sense.
