Microsoft on Monday plans to unveil more details on XDocs, its controversial electronic forms software.

The software giant is set to announce at a conference in San Diego that XDocs will officially be called InfoPath.

Last year, Microsoft unveiled XDocs as a planned addition to Office 11, the forthcoming update to the company's market-dominating, cash-cow productivity suite. Office 11 will rely heavily on Extensible Markup Language (XML), the lingua franca of Web services, to record and display data more flexibly.

Also on Monday, Microsoft will demonstrate InfoPath-created forms used to route data according to the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) format, a new standard adopted by the health care industry for the electronic exchange of data.
