I just created a brand new LyX file in 2.0.6, which is the packaged LyX for Ubuntu 13.10, and there wasn't a bit of XML in it, well formed or otherwise. It was basically the same format human parseable format it's been for 10 years, but with a lot more insets and options. But as far as I can tell, the newlines in the format are meaningful, meaning one can do a line by line parse, although with today's proliferation of great features, many implemented as insets, the parse isn't as simple as it was in 2005.
