The problem with CloudFlare's DNS "CNAME flattening" TTL

[attaching this to a CloudFlare survey why I left them (for DNSimple)]

I was a free user using CloudFlare only for DNS, chiefly because it can simulate CNAME at an apex domain. The apex domains mathdown.net,mathdown.com point to mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com. Cloudflare "CNAME-flattening" nicely returns an A record; unfortunately it's served with a huge TTL of 7 days(!), which causes a long outage when the underlying IP changes.

I asked support how I can lower the TTL (BTW it's great that you provide free support at all) and was told [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/522551, emphasis mine]:

This is based on the TTL of your authoritative provider for mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com:

Functional Inheritance

Basically a function in which you add additional functionality before returning it. Because the additional functionality is considered to be cloned from one function to another it doesn't matter if you inherit from a base / super function or some non-related function, it all works.

 * Constructor Function - Must be instantiated to be used.

var friend = function(name) { // Function Expression
    this.name = name,

Super Form Reset
A couple of things to watch out for:
- IE8: If a text input doesn't have padding on all sides or none the text won't be centered.
- The default border sizes on text inputs in all UAs seem to be slightly different. You're better off using custom borders.
- You NEED to set the font-size and family on all form elements
- Search inputs need to have their appearance reset and the box-sizing set to content-box to match other UAs
