The terminology should be unified to either "field" or "property".

This issue is not specific to runtime-spec; the same nomenclature should be applied to image-spec and distribution-spec as well.

+1 As a semi-random contributor I've been struggling with the nomenclature myself :) There's also the term "object" used in some parts.

Would/should the term be used in all levels of the hierarchy, e.g. we have linux.resources.memory.limit so linux, linux.resources etc would all be properties/fields?
