How do you report mineral compositions when analyses fall below detection limits?

I keep running into the problem of what to do with oxide or trace element values that come back below detection limits in EPMA or XRF work.

Different journals and reviewers seem to expect different conventions, and simply reporting zero never feels right.

How do you handle and report below-detection values in your mineral chemistry tables?
