I think this is indeed the standard practise.


I don't think that most logicians use "possible world" in the sense of "epistemically possible world" rather than "logically possible world" or "ontologically/metaphysically possible world". And internally inconsistent or contradictory worlds are impossible worlds rather than possible worlds.
