I have considered this back and forth now.
 From a programmer's perspective, I'd prefer being able to access all 
properties through their identifier. This is much more convenient to 
type and produces easier to read sourcecode.
But if we solely view jCards as a format for data-interchange, then for 
the sake of consistency with the standard names you are right. 
JavaScript allows us to use the standardized names, so let's use them.

So +1 for "All Objects in a jCard are used as Associative Arrays and 
must use strings for property names instead of identifiers."
