I don't think so. Without wrapper elements such as "authors" or
"categories":
<topicmeta>
<authors>
<author>Author 1</author>
<author>Author 2</author>
</authors>
<categories>
<category>Category A</category>
<category>Category B</category>
<category>Category C</category>
</categories>
</topicmeta>
I'm affraid that you cannot do much.
