No end-user ever wanted a URL put in their Dock.
Some marketing guy obviously thinks the Dock is just like the Start menu. He's wrong--the Dock isn't naturally hierarchical like the Start menu, so you don't just add things to it unless you will really use them every day. And apps don't add themselves to the Dock just as a matter of course. This should be explained to him.

I think there's a big difference between an
applications icon being put in the dock (so you can
launch the application) and a URL type icon which is
only useful if you want to get to that
companies/products website.

Move the URLs to the About Window or Help menu if you
must, why clutter the dock unnecessarily.

important to be added to the dock.
