I've occasionally seen the parenthesis notation. Never
the dot. How would you indicate more than one repeating
digit with the dot notation?
By using 2 dots, one each over the first & last digits
in the repeating part.
Since nothing follows an infinitely repeating sequence of digits, why
would the second dot be needed? For example,

27/140 = .19285714
would seem sufficient.
