Isn't seal compatability a problem when switching to DOT-5?

On one of my other vehicles I changed to DOT-5.
The result was that it ate the seals and I had to do another complete rebuild.

I seem to remember that the material the seals are made from has to be specifically engineered to work with that particular fluid type.
