What would you do about multiplicity? Could you require that the source and destination be the same? If they are not, then you can have all sorts of bizarre behavior, such as authors being munged together because the separating ',' was deleted.
In any event, I think you are suggesting something like:
0. verify that source and dest have the same multiplicity.
1. get value from source
2. process it with regexp, taking into account multiplicity
3. store result in dest.
