NA is a logical constant of length 1 which contains a missing value  
indicator.  Whether or not 0 is a meaningful value as numeric depends  
on your data and the questions you are asking of it.  You don't ask  
this question, but if I read this thread correctly and you are trying  
to workaround a data input problem with R in Org-babel, then replacing  
missing values with 0 in a numeric context to get around the Org-babel  
problem is NOT a good idea.
