Notation is only useful if people know what they are saying. That being said, anyone who isn't clear on the concept of infinity would be confused anyway. You could also claim that the notation for sin^-1(x) could easily be confused with 1/sin(x), but the fact is that mistakes like that are made by people who don't haven't been paying attention in math class.
