In the first movie when Admiral Kirk was placed in command of the
Enterprise, he was temporarly demoted to captain and Captain Decker to
commander.  This was both mentioned in the dialogue and in a change of
the insignias on their uniforms.  Yet when Kirk took command of the
Enterprise in the second movie he retained his rank of Admiral and
Spock never took off his Captain bars.  Anyone have any guesses or
educated ideas?

Also did anyone notice that in the novelization of ST. II, Sulu was
promoted to the rank of Captain, but in the movie he still wore
commander bars.
