All writers in the DC comics stable have to check their stories with 
HQ for continuity within the current state of play in the DC 
Universe according to an interview with Neil Gaiman, author of the 
Sandman series. 

Any featuring of "other" DC Characters - ie not the author's own, 
must be approved and by all accounts they keep a very tight rein on 
this to ensure no conflicts between titles.

Neil featured a number of excellent "guest" appearances in his 
stories.
