Coming in to CLT on the IVANE THREE RNAV ARRIVAL 10-2C landing north transition we were cleared to Descend VIA. If you look at the chart; IVANE is between 16;000 [and] 10;000 FT. The next fix is GIZMO at 250 between 13;000 [and] 11;000 FT. This doesn't make any sense. There are no notes anywhere stating the bottom altitude of IVANE is only for 23 or a different runway. I think this is an error on this chart and I don't know which one is correct? When you look at this chart it can lead you to bust an altitude since technically you need to climb again to make a restriction. I believe there is a miss print on the chart and that it needs to be corrected.
A pilot on the CLT IVANE THREE RNAV noted that a clearance to descend VIA could lead one to cross IVANE at 10;000 FT only to climb for the GIZMO 11;000 FT constraint. A chart note should be added indicating the IVANE 10;000 FT is only for Runway 23.
