[rspec-users] I want RSpec for CSS layout.

[Matt Wynne]

I have been in a few pub conversations now about 'photoshop-driven- 
development' where we show the machine what the page should look like  
(a photoshop mock-up), and keeps failing the build until we produce  
something that every browser can render to look like the mock-up.

Surely with all that CCTV out there in the world now there must be  
some image-recognition software we could use to make this dream come  
true.
