This is nice, but the abstractions are operating at different levels.
The keyword is "xpath" but the args passed to that look nothing like
xpath. How about something like:
response.body.should be_xml_with do
form :action => '/users' do
fieldset do
legend "Personal Information"
label "First name"
input :type => 'text', :name => 'user[first_name]'
end
end
end
