[Mono-list] mcs won't allow implementation of interfaces withstatic methods

Valid point of course, but I'm curious about other similar situations.
For example, nested types in interfaces. It's not allowed in C# (CS0524: interfaces cannot declare types).
But it's allowed (currently) for C# code to use these types anyway, for example types defined by Java code, compiled with J#.
Should it be prohibited as well?
