Yes, you are correct.

I think I was in the middle of writing one sentence and then finished
writing another sentence and the resulting sentence made no sense. :P

What I meant to say was:

"Any authentication or authorization protocol that depends on signing
HTTP headers or content will benefit from this specification (examples
include (DID Auth HTTP Binding, Authorization Capabilities for EDVs,
DIDComm HTTP Binding)."

... and yes, we could walk back "will benefit" to "may benefit from". :)
