I agree that 0 as a denominator would seem to indicate an infinite duration, and allow the rest of your argument. However <> still seems unintuitive.
I agree that <> isn't obvious. But in a complex language like LilyPond, there's always something like "idioms". I remember that I learned about <> quite late in my acquaintance with LilyPond, and it changed my input habits a bit - namely for standalone dynamics: <>\p s4 instead of s4\p. I had the project of introducing this idiom into the examples in the notation manual, but don't remember right now whether I ever finished this.
