The kernel conjecture for v-adic multiple zeta values

Let kk be the rational function field underlying the paper, let vv be a finite place of kk, and let Z\overline{\mathcal{Z}} and Zv\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_v denote the corresponding k\overline{k}-algebras of infinity-adic and vv-adic multiple zeta values. Theorem~2 gives a surjective k\overline{k}-algebra homomorphism ZZv\overline{\mathcal{Z}}\twoheadrightarrow\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_v, and ζA(q1)\zeta_A(q-1) is the single zeta value appearing in its known kernel. Kernel conjecture. For every finite place vv of kk, there is an isomorphism

Z/(ζA(q1))Zv.\overline{\mathcal{Z}}/(\zeta_A(q-1))\cong\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_v.

Equivalently, the kernel of the homomorphism is precisely the principal ideal generated by ζA(q1)\zeta_A(q-1). If true, this would make the vv-adic algebra independent of the finite place up to isomorphism and would imply that it is a graded k\overline{k}-algebra defined over kk; the source presents this as open.
