I had, at one point, the idea that, at least in the beginning, I would

other than to bury the design requirements in rspec specs or testunit
tests, both of which seems to defeat the idea of having users drive

Am I missing something obvious here?
You're not, don't worry! This is definitely an emerging practice, and
you aren't going to find any 'correct answers'. See this thread for a

FWIW, my view is becoming: if in doubt, put it in the Acceptance
Tests. These ATs are proving themselves to be less brittle than my
unit tests, and therefore much more valuable.
