While there is something strange going on, this is not quite what I see.
Sort the dictionary entries by platform and you will see a bunch of
entries with no specified platform.
Then there are entries labelled "Linux", "Mac OS X" & "Windows" which
seem to be for entries that are unique to a single platform.
Everything else seems to be labelled "MacOS" seen though they are
terms used in every platform e.g. "me".

On a side note, I think using "MacOS" as a platform descriptor is
confusing as people assume it applies to all Mac systems where in fact
it means Mac Classic systems i.e. OS 9 or earlier. I think this needs
to be changed in the docs to clarify this point.
