    /**
    Applies a schema to an XML data tree, returning a normalized object with
    results in the `results` property. Additional information can be parsed out
    of the XML for inclusion in the `meta` property of the response object.  If
    an error is encountered during processing, an `error` property will be
    added.

    Field data in the nodes captured by the XPath in _schema.resultListLocator_
    is extracted with the field identifiers described in _schema.resultFields_.
    Field identifiers are objects with the following properties:

      * `key`    : <strong>(required)</strong> The desired property name to use
            store the retrieved value in the result object.  If `locator` is
            not specified, `key` is also used as the XPath locator (String)
      * `locator`: The XPath locator to the node or attribute within each
            result node found by _schema.resultListLocator_ containing the
            desired field data (String)
      * `parser` : A function or the name of a function on `Y.Parsers` used
            to convert the input value into a normalized type.  Parser
            functions are passed the value as input and are expected to
            return a value.
      * `schema` : Used to retrieve nested field data into an array for
            assignment as the result field value.  This object follows the same
            conventions as _schema_.

    If no value parsing or nested parsing is needed, you can use XPath locators
    (strings) instead of field identifiers (objects) -- see example below.

    `response.results` will contain an array of objects with key:value pairs.
    The keys are the field identifier `key`s, and the values are the data
    values extracted from the nodes or attributes found by the field `locator`
    (or `key` fallback).
    
    To extract additional information from the XML, include an array of
    XPath locators in _schema.metaFields_.  The collected values will be
    stored in `response.meta` with the XPath locator as keys.

    @example
        var schema = {
                resultListLocator: '//produce/item',
                resultFields: [
                    {
                        locator: 'name',
                        key: 'name'
                    },
                    {
                        locator: 'color',
                        key: 'color',
                        parser: function (val) { return val.toUpperCase(); }
                    }
                ]
            };

        // Assumes data like
        // <inventory>
        //   <produce>
        //     <item><name>Banana</name><color>yellow</color></item>
        //     <item><name>Orange</name><color>orange</color></item>
        //     <item><name>Eggplant</name><color>purple</color></item>
        //   </produce>
        // </inventory>

        var response = Y.DataSchema.JSON.apply(schema, data);
