For example (from the Wiki):
"The Sword of Justice is a lawful artifact long sword in SLASH'EM.
It has +5 to hit and +12 to damage to all cross-aligned monsters."

Is the assumption correct that "cross-aligned" is meant with respect
to the weapon's alignment? - I suppose the character's alignment is
irrelevant here, right?

So my chaotic character who found a random Sword of Justice weld by
a monster would get the weapon as a lawful sword, and my character
would get bonuses with it when hitting chaotic or neutral monsters.
