You can put them inside a hidden group, then they will be parsed/unparsed but will not appear in the infoset XML.
You use the dfdl:hiddenGroupRef="qname of group" on an xs:sequence to put a hidden group into use. A public schema on github for mil-std-2045, makes extensive use of dfdl:hiddenGroupRef to hide presence bits for optional fields.
