Sometimes i wonder if it wouldn't be better (From a lore point of view anyways) if all of D&D was only in one fully-fleshed out world rather then hundreds.
Variety is the spice of life. Having a difference between worlds is a nice way to flesh things out so it doesn't all become same old. In any case, neither TSR or WotC has ever been really known for their consistency in fluff between authors.
