AFAICT, the original accessibility.sty is from 2007: Babett Schalitz wrote it as part of her "Diplomarbeit". I cannot even find the original access.tex from which docstrip produces accessibility.sty. I hope that Andy Clifton might be able to push and get it into CTAN, but until that time, the only thing one can do is download it from his github repo and use it through local mechanisms. Nick
