Schneider's conjecture on divisible Galois cohomology

Let FF be a global field, let ll be a prime with charFl\operatorname{char} F\ne l, and, if l=2l=2, assume μ4F\mu_4\subset F. Let GSG_S be the Galois group of the maximal extension of FF unramified outside a finite set SS containing the places above ll, and let WnW^n denote the relevant ll-primary Galois module. Define

in(F)=dimFl(DivH2(GS,Wn)[l]).i_n(F)=\dim_{\mathbb F_l}\bigl(\operatorname{Div} H^2(G_S,W^n)[l]\bigr).

Schneider's conjecture. in(F)=0i_n(F)=0 for all n1n\ne 1. This predicts the vanishing of the divisible part of H2(GS,Wn)H^2(G_S,W^n) outside the exceptional twist n=1n=1; the supplied text gives the conjectural statement but no resolution status.
