Is it possible to comment out a table row in (github-flavoured) markdown?

It doesn't seem to work with HTML comments, the rows beneath the commented row will not be recognized as table rows anymore. (example gist)
No, it is not possible to comment out a table row in (github-flavoured) Markdown. In fact the spec explicitly states:
The table is broken at the first empty line, or beginning of another block-level structure
Of course, an HTML comment is "another block-level structure." Therefore, the comment ends the table. At best, any addition table rows would be seen as a separate table. However, as they do not have a header attached to them, they do not constitute a complete table and therefore are not seen as rows.
