How it is implemented on the IMAP server.
User-defined flags work with most servers, and it shouldn't be too
difficult to implement a useful user interface in Gnus for it. But
they are rather limited, only a short string (atom) per message.
Annotations can be longer, but I'm not sure they are widely
implemented.
A tcpdump on an IMAP stream would be useful, to understand what
technique you are referring to.
