I have never used \pushmacro, but if I see it right, it pushes the
macro on a stack for later restore. That would suit the example I have
given. But it would not always satisfy me. For example, when I want to
use a predefined value as the new value:
store the current value
\pushXMLmeaning{indexterm}%
redefine XML environment indexterm,
e.g. as \letXMLenvironment{indexterm}{specialindexterm}
do some work,
restore the old value
\popXMLmeaning{indexterm}
