docs: Returns a set of Attributes for item names within domain_name that
          match the query.  The query must be expressed in using the SELECT
          style syntax rather than the original SimpleDB query language.
          Even though the select request does not require a domain object,
          a domain object must be passed into this method so the Item objects
          returned can point to the appropriate domain.
