I don't yet use RSpec 2, but I don't think you're missing anything. Shoulda
may very well be a good fit for these kinds of examples.

Since you asked, here's how I currently write examples like the ones you
posted.

require 'spec_helper'

describe User, "being valid" do
  it "requires an email" do
    user = User.new(:email => nil)
    user.should_not be_valid
    user.should have(1).error_on(:email)
  end

  it "requires a name" do
    user = User.new(:name => nil)
    user.should_not be_valid
    user.should have(1).error_on(:name)
  end
end

Regards,
Craig
