An A319 flight crew; descending via the hawkz RNAV STAR to sea and maintaining assigned .73M; was criticized by center for not being at 280 KTS when checking in with the next controller. The chart; however; specifies flights are to descend via mach number until 'intercepting' the required 280 KIAS until slowed by ATC.

Narrative:
Sea center controller assigned us to slow to .73 mach. Got a frequency change to sea center 128.3. The 128.3 controller asked us our speed and we told her 310 kts. We had not intercepted 280 kts yet. She told us we were supposed to be at 280 kts. Note on Hawkz3 reads speed restriction: turbojet aircraft descend via mach # until intersepting 280 kts. Maintain 280 until slowed by STAR. Flight continued without indicent.
