		//		Given the identity of an item, this method returns the item that has
		//		that identity through the onItem callback.  Conforming implementations

		//		Implementations of fetchItemByIdentity() may sometimes return an item
		//		from a local cache and may sometimes fetch an item from a remote server,
		//
		// 	keywordArgs:
		//		An anonymous object that defines the item to locate and callbacks to invoke when the
		//		item has been located and load has completed.  The format of the object is as follows:
		//		{
		//			identity: string|object,
		//			onItem: Function,
		//			onError: Function,
		//			scope: object
		//		}
		//	The *identity* parameter.
		//		The identity parameter is the identity of the item you wish to locate and load
		//		This attribute is required.  It should be a string or an object that toString()
		//		can be called on.
		//
		//	The *onItem* parameter.
		//		Function(item)
		//		The onItem parameter is the callback to invoke when the item has been loaded.  It takes only one
		//		parameter, the item located, or null if none found.
		//
		//	The *onError* parameter.
		//		Function(error)
		//		The onError parameter is the callback to invoke when the item load encountered an error.  It takes only one
		//		parameter, the error object
		//
		//	The *scope* parameter.
		//		If a scope object is provided, all of the callback functions (onItem,
		//		onError, etc) will be invoked in the context of the scope object.
		//		In the body of the callback function, the value of the "this"
		//		keyword will be the scope object.   If no scope object is provided,
		//		the callback functions will be called in the context of dojo.global.
		//		For example, onItem.call(scope, item, request) vs.
		//		onItem.call(dojo.global, item, request)
