The chart assumingly did say cross the VOR at 10000. ATC told you to descend and maintain 15000 at 20 miles out (from the VOR).

Not saying your're wrong at all, but can you give me a reference (maybe AIM) where it says that ATC instructions supercede published crossing restrictions (MCA or abolutes).

Thx.
