newItem() will not do that.  A Rack's newItem() method always takes only an
'id' method.  You'll need a method on the object itself that can be given
anything else you want to give it, which you'll call from a method you
create on the specialist, e.g. a "myAdd" method that takes all four
parameters and then does something like:

newObject = self.newItem(id)
newObject.setup(extraParm1,extraParm2,...)
return newObject
