I have not noticed and I am not able to log on from where I am ... but I was thinking.

Assuming the same difficulty level, say Heroic, for example.

Is XP better indoors or outdoors?

What about the safeguard missions? Since they are instances then are they technically "indoors"?

Also, does the XP increase as the team increases in members?

Just some rough XP notes

XP is roughly the same indoors or outdoors.

There is an effective XP bonus for larger teams (6 and up, I think).

You do get a marginally larger mission complete XP bonus for missions you do in PvP zones, otherwise it's strictly a function of mission level and difficulty setting.

The Croatoa Arcs seem to offer a massive story arc completion bonus.

Some mobs give a little more XP per mob (certain Arachnos, Vazh Zombies, etc).

They removed the PvP bonus with the release of the latest issue, didn't they?

It's still moderately higher as long as you only get the mission complete bonus more than once every 30 minutes (?). My best guess is about 10-15% higher for the PvP zone missions.

<<edit>>
This is as of earlier this week, not sure if last night's patch removed it completely, but I didn't see anything about that.

Tested the PvP zone mission complete bonus. With StarShrike at tenacious tonight, he got ~14,000 xp for a regular mission complete and ~18,000 for a PvP zone mission. Not a huge difference, but substantial.
