No, they simply write out the section/page/footnote reference of a tag to an auxiliary file, which is read in on the second pass. This allows one to do things like 'see n. 37 on p. 43 below', and so forth. In one way, it would make sense to have a unified set of cross-reference macros which produce useful html, pdf and text output; on the other hand, the -mm crossref macros do everything you need for a written report or article. They are every bit as powerful as LaTeX's native crossref macros (i.e., without the addition of packages like hyperref).
I've also found that the cross-ref macros in -mm are easily detachable. I
posted a version adapted to -ms here some time back; you should be able to find
them with a little searching for my name in the archive! They work fine; I
wrote an article using -ms and the adapted -mm macros, which used extensive
cross-references.
Do any of these cross-referencing schemes generate cross-references in
the HTML output as well as PDF? And do they play out in some reasonable
way for text output?
