At a guess...

   assert_xhtml do
     form :xpath! => 'count(.//span[ @class = "required_field" ]) = 13'
   end

If that doesn't work, look up the XPath syntax for count(). If that _still_ 
doesn't work, throw away assert_xhtml, and drop down raw XPath thru Nokogiri to 
do it.

(gem install rkelly nokogiri assert2, and require 'assert2/xhtml', to get 
assert_xhtml, IIRC..)
