That sounds like it could be a cool product, though like many of the volumes it may have struggled to fill the pages with interesting monsters.Absolutely. Just musings. And wouldn't it have been nice to have all such monsters in MC3 and the dinosaurs pulled out for an MC4 Lost World Appendix? Sabre-tooths, Tarzan, great apes, axebeaks, Pellucidar? What's not to like? But perhaps too late for that (sabre-tooths in MC1) and too much hassle for TSR at the time - and then there was the planned release of the BD&D Hollow World a year later, of course. Still, not quite the same imho.
That said, the MC product line is fascinating largely because it is so flawed, and I'm not sure a rearrangement like the one you suggest really touches on the fundamental issues of the line. (Or, to put it another way, there are things I would suggest to try to 'fix' the line, and a "Lost World Appendix" wouldn't be high on the list - there are bigger fish to fry.)
