Err no, actually "expandos" refers to "non-standard" attributes that
get added to DOM elements. They "expand" the attributes that are
available on an element.
For instance adding an "expando" attribute called "hello":
<input type="submit" value="blah" hello="Hello world!">
Because they're "non-standard" they can cause memory leak problems
under Internet Explorer if they refer to other DOM elements.
