Which is correct?

http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#sha384 (in XML Signature 1.1)
http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#sha384 (in XML Encryption 1.1)

Do they refer to different algorithms?

Also,

In 6.1, the URI is

http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#sha384

In 6.2.3, the URI is

http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha384

Which is correct? Or, are they different?
