About the patch... why do we care about malformed LyX documents ? How

this happen ? Are there some documents in a very old fileformat. Then we
should update those.
At least now the tests will show it.
If this is a valid argument, we can throw in a thousand of ad-hoc checks at
random places, ...
I don't consider this an ad-hoc check because I don't view it as a
test for the LyX documents (although as Kornel points out it might
have this extra benefit). I view it as a test of the assumption that
the export tests are making. The export tests depend on finding the
'default_output_format' buffer param. For the tests to work correctly,
it is assumed that the buffer param exists. This patch tests that
assumption.

Vincent, do you have more comments on this?
Scott
Well, I still didn't get an answer to my question why it is needed ?
As far as I see it, it cannot happen that there is no
default_output_format. Only if there are lyx files with an old file
format. In that case:
- a) we should update all lyx docs to the latest format anyway;
- b) we can just check for the fileformat to see whether it has the
latest format;
- c) we can assume "default" when there is no "default_output_format".
Either way, it is not important, but I just don't see the rationale
behind this patch.
