This isn't my area, but I know enough to say that he speaks the right language and builds on existing results in the field.
So I'd classify this as a serious contender... in the same sense as other serious contenders have been put forward every 1-2 years for the past 50 years, only to be withdrawn after someone points out mistakes.
