Players killed by zombies should turn into zombies on death (hardcore only)

In non-hardcore difficulties, players can respawn without limit. Because villagers are zombified when killed by (at least consistently on hard/hardcore difficulty), and zombies of the player's species pervade the world of Minecraft, it stands to reason that players can also be zombified. However, this is (presumably) stopped by their ability to respawn.

Because players can't respawn on hardcore, they should fall prey to zombification when killed by a zombie there. (because zombie villagers are the only curable zombies, zombified players would be un-curable.)

    So would you control yourself or just watch a zombie that is supposedly you shamble about, eventually burning in the sun?

    But then what would be the point? Your dead so you cant kill players in singleplayer, which most hardcore worlds are in.

    Note for clarification: you wouldn't be in control of your zombie or see anything through their eyes, it would be as if you'd died in hardcore, except a zombie spawns where you died, wearing everything you were wearing and dropped the amount of experience on death you'd normally drop if you died.

    The player themselves (completely separate from the zombie) would still experience the hardcore death, and be forced to spectate/delete the world, or get hardcore death-banned from the server.
