...which doesn't work too well in a game that lets you flatten buildings 
if you feel like it. ;-)

Hell, even in TF2, you see light shining through doorways when the door 
is shut. Looks kinda weird until the door opens at the start of the 
round. You'd think that just for doors you could compute two versions of 
the light map... but then, just how much of the light map is affected 
when you shut one door? Indeed.
