BTW, I've seen the door.* I didn't reallize that there was debate as I
understood that it was common practice to tack things to the door.
*Kind of a funny story. A few years ago I traveled through Europe with a
college friend. By accident, my friend and I took a train from Berlin to
the town of Wittenberge, which is different from Wittenberg. We didn't
reallize our mistake until the train had pulled out of the station, and the
next train wasn't for several hours. So we ended up spending our afternoon
in this little town which was pleasant enough, but didn't have any real draw
for tourists. A week later we were able to get to Wittenberg which has a
small Martin Luther museum and the door itself. I found some pictures here:
