Note that there's a problem currently, that many content item attributes
don't have appropriate defaults set up in their parcel.xml Kind
descriptions. This leads to separate copies of initialization code in
Python (in the app code, as well as clones in unit tests), which is
icky. This ickyness is represented by this bug, currently assigned to
Jeffrey:

When creating an item instance (or a subclass thereof) you need to
pass three things:
- a name, which is optional and is useful for debugging
- a parent, which determines where the item lives in the repository
- a kind, which is optional. A kindless item is limited in what it
can do
but is useful as a container of other items, its children (see
above).
kind.newItem() seems to work for me, but I'm curious in exploring the
python-constructor method further, if only to understand how it works:
I've had no luck passing in a view parameter, I still don't get
default attribute values from the Kind.. but your last bullet makes me
think that I need to pass in a kind manually. You mention that its
optional, but if I don't pass one in, what Kind gets hooked up?
