Uniqueness conjecture for metric spaces with discrete distance sets

Let XX be a metric space, and let distX\operatorname{dist} X denote the set of distances between pairs of points of XX. The set distX\operatorname{dist} X is closed and discrete if it is a closed discrete subset of R\mathbb{R}. Let G ⁣H\operatorname{\mathcal{G\!H}} be the class of metric spaces under consideration for the Gromov--Hausdorff distance.

Uniqueness conjecture. Every metric space XX with a closed and discrete set distX\operatorname{dist} X has the property of uniqueness in the class G ⁣H\operatorname{\mathcal{G\!H}}.

This asserts that vanishing Gromov--Hausdorff distance determines XX uniquely up to isometry within the stated class. The supplied text does not indicate whether this claim is proved or remains open.
