The charge order appears conspicuously within the pairing gap, and low doping tends to favor the charge order. We point out the possibility that the 4a X 4a charge order will be dynamical in itself, and pinned down over regions with effective pinning centers. The pinned 4a X 4a charge order is closely related to the spatially inhomogeneous pairing gap structure, which has often been reported in STS measurements on high-Tc cuprates.12 pages, 16 figures, to be published in Phys.
