Although I understand (and to some extent agree with) the point you are  
trying to make, (f(f(x))) is not ambiguous in mathematical notation. The  
problems come when you remove parentheses or interpret them in a  
non-standard manner. Wolfram Alpha does those things because mathematical  
notation does not translate easily into ASCII.
