What is wrong?

[<paul-rene.jorgensen@telenor.com>]

I'm trying to parse..

### BEGIN TEXT
Metro Principle - Quick Start
h3. 1. Introduction
*Important!!* Take note of the following before reading the rest of this document
### END TEXT

with this parser...

### BEGIN GRAMMAR
Package confluence.compiler;

Helpers
	unicode_input_character = [0..0xffff];
	tab = 9;
	lf = 10;
	cr = 12;
	space = ' ';
	nl = lf | cr | lf cr;
	input_character = [unicode_input_character-[cr+lf]];
	input_character_nospace = [input_character-space];

Tokens
	strong = '*';
	emphasis = '_';
	citation = '??';
	deleted = '-';
	inserted = '+';
	superscript = '^';
	subscript = '~';
	span = '%';
	monospaced_begin = '{{';
	monospaced_end = '}}';
	blockquote = 'bq.';
	text = input_character+;
	word = input_character_nospace+;
	new_line = nl;
	space = space;

Productions

	content = {content} component+;
	
	component =
		{paragraph} paragraph+ new_line+;
	
	paragraph = word optional_word*;
	
	optional_word = space+ word;
### END GRAMMAR

and get this "confluence.compiler.parser.ParserException: [1,1] expecting: word"

Why isn't it matching word?
