SKOS comment - intended directionality needs to be stated

The intended directionality of skos:broader (and skos:narrower, etc.) is unclear in
the SKOS Reference. When I write
:a skos:broader :b .
Is this supposed to mean ":a is broader than :b"? Or ":b is broader than :a"?
I imagine the directionality is somewhere stated, but in searching throught the SKOS Reference for several minutes I was unable to find it in the obvious places, such as the section on skos:broader:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#broader
or in Section 7 on its semantics:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#L2055
or even in the examples:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-skos-reference-20080125/#L2157
I think a statement needs to be added somewhere, even if it is merely in the example, saying something like:
[[
:a skos:broader :b .
indicates that :b is a broader concept than :a.
