in that case:

\expandafter\pushmacro\csname...\endcsname
\expandafter\popmacro\csname ...\endcsname

is nicer since it works nested as well

wo maybe we should have: \pushXMLmeaning \popXMLmeaning

\def\pushXMLmeaning#1%
   {\@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname
    \@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname
    \@EA\pushmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname}

\def\popXMLmeaning#1%
   {\@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname
    \@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname
    \@EA\popmacro\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname}

Does that suit your needs?

Hans
