Folklore conjecture on the algebra of multizeta values in positive characteristic

Let Z\overline{\mathfrak{Z}} be the Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-algebra generated by multizeta values, and let Zw\overline{\mathfrak{Z}}_w be the Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-vector space spanned by the multizeta values of weight ww, for w2w\geq 2. Write Z\mathfrak{Z} for the corresponding Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra generated by multizeta values. Folklore conjecture. The algebra Z\overline{\mathfrak{Z}} is weight-graded,

Z=Qw2Zw,\overline{\mathfrak{Z}}=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\oplus\bigoplus_{w\geq 2}\overline{\mathfrak{Z}}_w,

and is defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, meaning that the canonical map

QQZZ\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\otimes_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathfrak{Z}\longrightarrow\overline{\mathfrak{Z}}

is bijective. This is presented as a folklore open problem concerning the algebraic structure and field of definition of multizeta values; the supplied text gives no resolution.
