Comment (by joedolson):

 It's debatable whether these should actually have `aria-expanded`
 attributes. There is no action taken to open or close these menus. From a
 screen-reader perspective, they aren't actually hidden, and there's no
 need to disclose them - the navigation is continuous.

 `aria-expanded` is intended to convey the results of an action with a
 state change; but there's no state change here. The sub menus are only
 hidden visually, using off-screen positioning similar to screen reader
 text classes.

 In my opinion, not having `aria-expanded` is correct here, given the
 behavior.

 @afercia Your opinion?
