Thanks for the tip. If i pass the rule as a temporary argument to the parse function the example works. Please note though that the FAQ mentiones a compile problem, but while the mentioned code compiles without warning it does not work. Therefore a clarification of the FAQ section might be in order.

The problem is a scanner mismatch indeed. But in this case you're using a rule without any skipper while parsing with one. This rule acts as an implicit lexeme[] (see the docs for more information). So this is desired bahavior.
