Possibly...  cxml currently has such a macro only for its serialization
API, i.e.

CL-USER> (cxml:with-xml-output (stp:make-builder)
           (cxml:with-namespace ("a" "http://a")
             (cxml:with-element "a:b"
               (cxml:text "xyz"))))
#.(CXML-STP-IMPL::DOCUMENT
   :CHILDREN '(#.(CXML-STP:ELEMENT
                  #| :PARENT of type DOCUMENT |#
                  :CHILDREN '(#.(CXML-STP:TEXT
                                 #| :PARENT of type ELEMENT |#
                                 :DATA
                                 "xyz"))
                  :LOCAL-NAME "b"
                  :NAMESPACE-PREFIX "a"
                  :NAMESPACE-URI "http://a")))

That API can't really modify STP in place though; the builder only knows
how to set up a full document.
