Read only 
 Publish  key doesn't emphasize, that this is the secret key. 
On centralized platforms you can give someone publish rights, and later revoke it with your full/admin access.  
 I have qualms about key being used for the npub.


Key Etymology: “

> instrument for opening locks," Middle English keie, from Old English cæg "metal piece that works a lock, key" literal and figurative ("solution, explanation, one who or that which opens the way or explains"), a word of unknown origin, abnormal evolution, and no sure cognates other than Old Frisian kei.”

Key makes perfect sense for nsec. 
 I agree. IDs and Keys.
npub = Nostr Public ID
nsec = Nostr Secret Key
