Classical representation conjecture for null Lagrangians on diffeomorphism groups

Let MM be a manifold, let nl0(M)nl^{0}(M) denote the space of null Lagrangians of order zero on MM, and let Jc(M)J_{c}(M) denote the relevant compactly supported jet space. A classical null Lagrangian is a function represented by the standard classical null-Lagrangian construction. Classical representation conjecture. For any MM and any Wnl0(M)W\in nl^{0}(M), there is a classical null Lagrangian W~\tilde{W} such that

W(F)=W~(F)W(\mathbf{F})=\tilde{W}(\mathbf{F})

for any FJc(M)\mathbf{F}\in J_{c}(M). The conjecture proposes that every order-zero null Lagrangian on a diffeomorphism group agrees on compactly supported jets with a classical null Lagrangian; the supplied text gives no resolution or further scope of what is known.
