Public bug reported:

I defined a validation rule.. RDT positive cases <= RDT tested cases.
When the user enters a zero or a blank for the RHS and a value for the
LHS, the validation rule is passed, which in fact should not be the
case. Setting the data elements to "Store significant zeroes" solves the
problem when users enter a zero for the RHS, but it does not solve the
problem when they leave the field blank.

I think one possible fix would be that if the value is NULL then it
should be treated as a zero. This seems to be more or less the behaviour
elsewhere in DHIS 2.
