I don't understand what the meaning would be in these four cases.  The fourth would seem to be

    "run1,2",3,4

Is this just covering a corner case to show that the value of 'nativeID' is a comma-separated list of items, each of which can include commas if quoted?  (and if so, can an item also include a double-quote character?)

By specifying "2-N", it seems like you're implicitly saying that by declaring that +2 or +3 is "possible" that all other charges are not possible.

The alternative would be to specify "1-N", in which case +1 could mean "I think the charge is +1, but it might be something else".  Unless this interpretation is ruled out, it seems like "1-N" ought to be specified.

Might also specify that it's one-to-one: that is, every index entry must actually point to one spectrum (that is actually present in the file).  Is it specified that the order of the index entries is the same as the order of the spectra in the file?
