Correct.

For some background: the specification[0] rules that Identifiers are
IdentifierNames that are not a ReservedWord. A ReservedWord itself is
an IdentifierName that cannot be an Identifier; PropertyName is an
IdentifierName so it gets the same treatment, eg. var o = { function:
function() { return true; } }; o.function(); // true

I just checked and no browser's latest stable release has the bug that
would cause an exception to be thrown when a ReservedWord was used as a
PropertyName (which is great, because the last time I checked for this,
Safari 5.0.? did throw)
