Summary: Server crashes if parsing old worldfile

Initial Comment:
The server crashes when parsing an old worldfile, since
it assumes some XML parts to be present while they aren't.

I've located the problem at least in Piece::Load
(TiniXmlNode*, Object::ID&), but it may exist some
others too.

The bug is to assume TiXmlElement::Attribute() returns
a valid pointer, while it won't if the requested
artibute isn't present in the loaded file. While we're
at it we could do the same check on
TinyXmlNode::ToElement(). 

Fixing it and eventually searching for the same errors
in other files is still easy, but how to cope with the
error ? Throwing Serializer::IOException ? Using null
attributes ?

I'll follow miguel...
