ml>i'll state again that no where in P4 does it state that the 
ml>IC must retain their ZC hat and P4 specifically states that 
ml>one must not wear too many hats...

 PS> and the part of P4 that says the ZCs' elect an IC from among thier
 PS> rank ?

 PS> A person who is not a current ZC is not amongst thier rank.

according to what i was told by more than one ZC and IC, they actually are
because they have the experiance of having been a ZC... that experiance, in
and of itself, it one of the major keys...
