Going backward will work, if you understand how to code the things manually that differ between the two programs.

What I mean is, any newer features in CC that use interface dialogue windows to modify, won't be editable within DW CS5's interface (the reverse is true as well for any older features removed from the newer program). CS5's Live View is going to be pretty limited in comparison, because the rendering engine belongs to a much older webkit browser than CC's.

I don't think CS5 had any support for HTML5, so Code View may be a little limited in that respect, otherwise hand coding should work fine.
