Barry,
        Cloudflare has been doing this for a while, so that their customers 
won't be "limited by the DNS specifications (RFCs)" <rolls eyes>. Having done 
that, they were compelled to offer another service -- so-called "CNAME 
flattening" -- to fix the brokenness that's caused by their base offering.

See 
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169056-CNAME-Flattening-RFC-compliant-support-for-CNAME-at-the-root

I think Akamai also offers something similar.

                                                                        - Kevin

That doesn't seem valid to begin with. The .COM zone has delegation NS records 
for sharepoint.com. Having a CNAME record for the same name is wrong.
