The compactification conjecture for subsets of Euclidean space

Let AA be an mm-dimensional subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n. An mm-dimensional compactification of AA is a compact space containing AA as a dense subspace and having dimension mm.

Compactification conjecture. Every mm-dimensional subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n has an mm-dimensional compactification that can be embedded into Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

This conjecture would complete the reduction of the problem of whether covering dimension satisfies Menger's axioms. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
