[Paddlewise] Nature calls in a dry suit?

I'm curious if anybody knows about any detrimental effects of urinating in 
a dry suit? Specifically, is there a possibility of damage to the materials 
due to contact with urine? If so, is this damage minimized by a shorter 
time the moisture remains without being rinsed off? I'm about to order a 
dry suit with a relief zipper, more for convenience and comfort than 
anything else. But I have friends who chose to save money by forgoing the 
added zipper. Now, I'm not saying they throw caution to the wind in every 
emergency, but perhaps they should be informed. In the past I've actually 
suffered from a urinary tract infection by "holding back nature" in 
neoprene waders while fly fishing in a float tube. Not fun, let me assure you.
