This is a very basic version of what you're after:

(defun surround-region-with-tag (tag-name)
  (interactive "stag name: ")
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (region-beginning))
    (insert (concat "<" tag-name ">")))
  (goto-char (region-end))
  (insert (concat "</" tag-name ">")))

It will prompt for the tag name, and insert "<tag-name>" and
"</tag-name>" at the beginning and end of the region.

My elisp-fu is not so good; it obviously doesn't allow any interactivity
with nxml with respect to which tags may be relevant ... nor does it do
any error checking.  But it does basically work.
