Both should be anodized.

maybe the spokes should be, but they aren't, them being made of
stainless steel and anodising being only suitable for aluminium

Perhaps the spokes are not anodized per say but a quick google on
coloring of black spokes yielded "Finished in black using an
electro-chemical treatment that is durable, and does not weaken the
spoke" (this is the case for DT).

Sometimes the terms seems to be used loosely in this area. (Also the
term differs in meaning in english and my native language, so I may be
off strictly speaking.)

With the 08 wheelset I think the spokes are powdercoated or something,
but not anodized. The rim is anodized. I looked into different ways of
painting all of it. Couldn't find any cheap ways.

A local shop had a $70 minimum per color. You could do all the pieces
of a uni at once. (a 36" rim might be too big for their oven)

I've heard you could have them add the part you want done to the piece
of another customer (if you didn't mind the color they were doing) for
like $15, but the shop I talked to said NO WAY at any price.

Edit: agentQ has done his own powder coating.

THATS EXPENSIVE... I paid 30 bucks

BTW, to have Fluo and solid colors uses Powder Coating. If you want a
metalic color, Like K1 Purple rim, anodize it!

While we are on the topic of powdercoating. I just recently set up a
powdercoating system at my house. So expect some pictures of my own
custom paint jobs!
