+**`christmas-octave-sunday` correction**: originally left unauthored
+here, on the theory that every date this id can resolve to collides with
+a specific octave-day saint. Wrong — the reference engine has its own
+dedicated proper for this Sunday specifically, `Tempora/Nat1-0`
+(`web/www/horas/Latin/Tempora/Nat1-0.txt` in the reference repo, and its
+Monastic counterpart under `TemporaM/`), distinct from the individual
+per-weekday octave pages (`Nat02`..`Nat09` = the ferias, keyed by day
+offset from Christmas). Most years the Sunday does lose outright to a
+Duplex-II-classis octave saint (St. Stephen/St. John/Holy Innocents,
+whichever Dec 26–28 lands on) and only gets a bare commemoration — that's
+what the earlier searches kept finding — but 2029-12-30 is a clean year
+where the Sunday itself wins outright (`Dominica Infra Octavam
+Nativitatis ~ Semiduplex Dominica minor`, no commemoration line at all),
+so that's the date the content was pulled from. Benedictus antiphon:
+"Dum médium siléntium" / "While all things were in quiet silence" — note
+the source's own English translation genuinely omits the closing
+"alleluia" that the Latin has; transcribed as-is, not smoothed over.
