Arguably it would have made more sense to post that example *before*, rather than expecting you all to read my mind :) I'm pleased with how it's working out so far. I need to write a lot more of these to know though. I only got as far as this one example before deciding to shave the shared example yak before moving on. > Re: RSpec 2 for ruby 1.8.6: I don't see RSpec 2 as being all that > useful for Rails 2.x projects on ruby 1.8.6.

Cool, if it's possible to maintain 1.8.6 support in RSpec 2 then by all means do so. I wasn't aware that such a large amount of code needed to run on 1.8.6, I assumed most had moved to 1.8.7. Doesn't look like it takes too much to monkeypatch 1.8.6 up to spec anyway.
