1. In a telecommunications networking environment including a server and one or more dynamic session-environment setting(s), a method of processing a dynamically user-customizable network-element-update string (dynamically user-customizable update string) of a particular format, comprising: receiving one or more update-string-processing (USP) instruction(s), (1) wherein the one or more dynamic session-environment setting(s) are set based on the USP instructions without the aid of a database and a network element is programmed to recognize the format particular to a dynamically user-customizable update string associated with the USP instruction(s), (2) wherein the one or more USP instructions include instructions that cause said network element to perform a recognizing process to recognize a format of a corresponding data string, (3) wherein said recognizing process includes, a) interpreting the dynamically user-customizable update string when communicated using human-interpretable text, b) interpreting the dynamically user-customizable update string when communicated in machine-readable text, and c) recognizing one or more elements of the dynamically user-customizable update string as a primary-key; receiving the dynamically user-customizable update string without the aid of a database; and effecting changes to the network element consistent with the received dynamically user-customizable update string.
