It is perfectly legal (but I can't quote the part of the spec that states
it, although Lidin does) for a static method to be global--in this case, it
is actually scoped by the singleton "<Module>" type that all modules
implicitly have defined on their behalf by the runtime. So, if I understand
your question correctly, this isn't an invalid TypeRef at all.

Subject: [DOTNET] Partition II Metadata Spec question
> Using VS.NET, I created a MFC Application project. The *only* change I
> made was to switch on the /CLR command line option (which then forces
> you to turn a few others off). This produces a single module .EXE
> managed assembly containing with managed code and unmanaged data.
> PEVerify /MD states that the metadata is valid. The application even
> runs successfully. However, upon inspection, there appears to be an
> invalid TypeRef. ILDASM /ADV shows the following:
>
> TypeRef #17 (01000011)
> -------------------------------------------------------
> Token: 0x01000011
> ResolutionScope: 0x00000000
> TypeRefName: COccManager
>
> Note the nil resolution scope. However, there is no EXPORTEDTYPE table
> in this single-module assembly. The type CoccManager is also never
> defined in the assembly. In fact, this type seems to only be referenced
> once in the entire application. Here is the ILDASM for the reference. It
> is a global function method parameter:

> Method #154
