The normal-or-analytic conjecture for subnormal Toeplitz operators

Let TϕT_\phi be a scalar Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space whose self-commutator [Tϕ,Tϕ][T_\phi^*,T_\phi] has finite rank. Normal-or-analytic conjecture. If TϕT_\phi is subnormal, then TϕT_\phi is normal or analytic. This remains open even for scalar-valued Toeplitz operators and would characterize subnormal Toeplitz operators with finite-rank self-commutators as normal or analytic.
