Can you ignore/skip rows?(Implementing drill-down rows)

I'm implementing drill-down rows, but can't use the technique outlined in http://www.datatables.net/blog/Drill-down_rows (using fnOpen, fnClose) as I need the drill-down rows to be in the DOM and not added/removed (ASP.NET MVC; they contain form elements against which I'm doing unobtrusive validation, and later posting back to the server).

So essentially what I have is this:

<tbody>
    @for (var i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
    {
	<tr>
	    <td class="expandCollapseControl"></td>
	    <td>some value</td>
	    <td>some value</td>
	    <td>some value</td>
	    <td></td>
	</tr>
	
	<tr class="drillDownRow">
	    <td colspan="5">
		some drill down content
	    </td>
	</tr>
    }
</tbody>

Is there any way to have datatables keep all .drillDownRows in the table, but not try to parse them? Or another way to get this effect?
