		//		the attribute values in keywordArgs, they become the values of the attributes
		//		in the new item.  In addition, for stores that support hierarchical item
		//		creation, an optional second parameter is accepted that defines what item is the parent
		//		of the new item and what attribute of that item should the new item be assigned to.
		//		In general, this will assume that the attribute targetted is multi-valued and a new item
		//		is appended onto the list of values for that attribute.
		//
		//	keywordArgs:
		//		A javascript object defining the initial content of the item as a set of JavaScript 'property name: value' pairs.
		//	parentInfo:
		//		An optional javascript object defining what item is the parent of this item (in a hierarchical store.  Not all stores do hierarchical items),
		//		and what attribute of that parent to assign the new item to.  If this is present, and the attribute specified
		//		is a multi-valued attribute, it will append this item into the array of values for that attribute.  The structure

		//		Throws an exception if the item in parentInfo is not an item from the store
