That only works on notifications, and even then is only appropriate when 
there is only a single <item> since it applies to the contents of <items> as
a whole.  To work on a list of items being returned from a request, it would
have to be included with each item, which the current schema for item does
not allow.

has been a fair bit of discussion on this topic.
