static interface Name{
}

makes all member functions to be static member functions without
implementation. This will create linker errors and does not make sense. Or do i
miss something?

On the other hand, in Java, all nested interfaces are implicit static and it is
optional to list the static keyword.

To avoid problems here, the compiler could give an error if D source code has
the static keyword in an interface declaration.
