Isn't this the policy.conf version? I thought cil files had:
expandtypeattribute, am I wrong here?

So in a conflict, it's always forced to false, which prevents expansion.
That seems reasonable. I would imagine this should also update some
document somewhere that describes this behavior, does one exist?
I couldn't find anything, but not sure if it's on some external webpage.
Stephen do you know?

Sure, this saves an operation, but:
attr->used &= ~CIL_ATTR_EXPAND_TRUE;
Is less fragile and the usual unset idiom. I won't request this changed unless
either you agree or someone else has the same opinion as me.
One could always argue that conditional code that relies on the entry
condition is the whole
point of conditional code :-P
