Thanks for the fixes!
My chief interest in using strings instead of keywords is to make it
easier to generate the value of bibtex-entry-field-alist from
org-bibtex-types and org-bibtex-fields. But if I'm already going to go
the trouble of rearranging the lists, changing the keywords to strings
shouldn't be too much trouble. :)
Best,
Matt
