I think there's no convention yet, but maybe an unspoken one: use the
plugin format in the description.

For ladspa and dssi it makes sense, but vst and lv2 is rather more
difficult. VST can mean at least two incompatible things, 
windows and native VSTs.

With LV2 it's similar, given the extensible nature of the format.

So far I had no problems with the current 'convention' unless someone
didn't mention the format.
