Not surprisingly, phobia's right, in my opinion. I don't think many (or any) companies will skew their planned salary structure by that large an amount, and it would be damaging to go in there, interview, get a job offer, and turn it down because of information you already had going in.
I'm always very careful about listing the salary range when I hire, and I would really think poorly of someone who got the job notice, interviewed, and then told me during the job offer phase that they needed $10K more than my upper range.
The proper thing to do, in my opinion, is to write the person, let them know that you have XXX experience and are looking for a position in the YYY pay range. Ask if there's flexibility in the salary structure, or if there's a more senior position available, and let them make the call.
