If being cross platform is a defining point of the piece of software then I feel that it does belong in the description. Take arora as an example, it aimed amongst many things to be a completely cross platform browser, therefor having that in the description is important. Whereas the KDE stack, which is cross platform, but as a secondary goal should not have any such info in its description. There are many pieces of software that I wouldn't use if the fact that they were cross platform wasn't in the description. My 2 penny's
