   extract_entries
	  Main data extraction routine.
	  Accepts a data source identifier (filename in this case),
	  preprocesses the file and then looks for the passed keys,
	  creating entries when it finds them and passes out an
	  array of keys it didn't find.

   create_entry
	  Create a Biber::Entry object from an entry found in a Zotero
	  RDF/XML data source

   parsename
	   Given a name node, this function returns a Biber::Entry::Name object

	   Returns an object which internally looks a bit like this:

	   { firstname	   => 'John',
	     firstname_i   => 'J',
	     middlename    => 'Fred',
	     middlename_i  => 'F',
	     lastname	   => 'Doe',
	     lastname_i    => 'D',
	     prefix	   => undef,
	     prefix_i	   => undef,
	     suffix	   => undef,
	     suffix_i	   => undef,
	     namestring    => 'Doe, John Fred',
	     nameinitstring => 'Doe_JF',
