I think there is a problem with the technique demonstrated on your Navigation Menubar Example page. Based on the WAI-ARIA 1.1 and 1.0 Recommendations, menuitem is not a role that uses the aria-expanded state. The SVG of the RDF model makes clear, visually, what roles are supported. From my reading, aria-expanded should actually go on the menu that is being controlled itself, as that supports aria-expanded through inheritance from the section role.

This is due to an issue in ARIA 1.1 and is resolved by w3c/aria#454 in ARIA 1.2
