[Paddlewise] Waterproof/Breathable no good in saltwater?

I just read the description and review of dry suits in Sea Kayaker magazine, and
it made no mention of such a fact.  I doubt the author's technical merits.
Maybe if paddling on the Great Salt Lake, the evaporation and precipitation of
NaCl would clog the pores and reduce breathability, but it seems very unlikely.
Please share the name of the guidebook - I will be paddling there in July with
Ocean River Outfitters (Victoria).
