Just my 2 cents:

The less code we have the better, i.e !zoned is obvious when it's true
i.e when zoned is false. So the way I read teh assert with the short
form is "we are not zoned OR we are (this is implicit) and this is the
data reloc root". Obviously this is personal preference as you deem it's
better  better to have the !zoned || zoned.
