I was actually referring to sample code for the access-enabling an
app. By the way, maybe it's just me, but I never realized that the
AX* APIs were for assistive apps, whereas the Cocoa Universal Access
APIs were for client apps.
This distinction could be made clearer perhaps, and having read all
the docs on accessibility at ADC starting from the main accessibility
section, I never saw a mention of (or even link to) that release note
that cleared up this confusion.
Anyway, many thanks -

By the way, most of the sample code on Apple's webpage is
unfortunately in Carbon. I assume most things are similar as always,
but being unused to Carbon (and more comfortable in Cocoa), I'd love
to see some more Cocoa accessibility examples.
Apple's UI Element Inspector sample code project is an assistive
application
written in Cocoa. The accessibility function calls are of course
written in
C, not Objective-C, because the accessibility API for writing
assistive
applications is written in C. (It isn't, strictly speaking, Carbon,
but is
one of the system frameworks.)
I'm not aware of sample code for making custom UI elements
accessible in
Carbon or Cocoa, except for the code snippets that appear
throughout the
"Accessibility Programming Guidelines for Carbon" and "Accessibility
Programming Guidelines for Cocoa" documents.
