How to draw a grid in SketchFlow?

Solution
At the time the question was posed, there were workarounds and kludges. But now--with the advent of the just-released (June 7, 2010) SketchFlow/Blend version 4 there is a great solution: Sketchables from Philipp Sumi. This add-on to SketchFlow 4 lets you use concise markup to customize and tailor a control to display sophisticated output--including the SketchableDataGrid.
Sketchables is a completely new package, due to be released the week of June 21, 2010, according to his blog. He has a startling demo video on his site, though. For a snapshot of the SketchableDataGrid take a look at Figure 12 in my just-published article Creating WPF Prototypes with SketchFlow, June 18, 2010.
(I have no connection with Philipp Sumi other than admiration for his Sketchables product.:-)
Problem
Since there is no grid asset in SketchFlow, what is the best way to represent one? Does everyone just use the rectangle asset?
