I don't see any restriction requiring an interface to be connected to a port.
You could instantiate one without connecting it to anything, for use as a
local bundling of nets and variables. For that matter, you could use a
module the same way, but an interface has the advantage that you *can* pass
it through a port if you want to, like a struct.

Am I missing something?
