They can the different and serve different purposes.
The name attribute that you have there means that the value will be picked
from
yourAction.getUser().getZip().getCity();
The key will be used to lookup the resources files using the literal string
'user.zip.city', of course.
Hope this helps.

I notice key is now preferred over getText() and am now curious about
something else. Is the name attribute necessary when using key? I would
rather not duplicate myself unless S2 requires it.
<s:textfield name="user.zip.city" key="user.zip.city"
size="40"
readonly="true" />
