Is it OK to mix brake fluid brands?

I know you shouldn't mix grades of brake fluid, ie DOT 4 & 5, but what about brands of the same grade?

I've read a few warnings about not mixing brands but I'm not sure if it's just marketing hype or if it's a genuine reason (like mixing coolants etc).

Most brake fluid containers have "mixing conditions" on the labels.

The Lockheed fluid I have here says

Quote:

DELPHI Lockheed DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid exceeds F.M.V.S.S No 116 DOT3 specification and current specification S.A.E. J1703.

Suitable for all hydraulic Clutch & Brake systems except for those requiring mineral oil and can be mixed with all brake fluids conforming to the above specifications.
