dojox.data.XmlStore doesn't support passing a document (among other things)

[alex]

specifying many values to the document fetching code in the XmlStore? is far too difficult. Further compounding the difficulty in using the store, it's not possible to simply pass it a document to be serached, causing many users to resort to subclassing for what should be trivial use-cases (particularly WRT the grid).

There are also some style and structure issues with the code for this store which need to be worked out.

In helping a user today, I wrote this one-off store for a behavior that should be built-in:

dojo.declare("acme.XmlDomStore", [ dojox.data.XmlStore ], {
	constructor: function(args){
		if(args && args.dom){ this.dom = args.dom }
	},
	dom: null,
	_fetchItems: function(request, fetchHandler, errorHandler){
		var items = this._getItems(this.dom);
		if(items && items.length){
			fetchHandler(items, request);
		}else{
			fetchHandler([], request);
		}
	}
});

deprecated store, I believe things like this could be considered for future inclusion in ​https://github.com/kfranqueiro/dojo-smore
