I think this is not a good idea at all. This could potentially be even
more confusing to users. If zeros are not significant, the system
should just swallow the values (or better yet, persist them to a
datavalue_zeros table, which I am going to write a blueprint for)
silently. Providing this kind of message to the user will 1) just slow
down data entry and 2) be extremely confusing!. Just have the system
either persist the values or not persist them.

Poor old zero...no one likes him but me. :(
