I don't know about it ever being non-public. Handling the dock icon, including sample code on how to change the dock icon during program execution (using Mail.app as an example) is pretty well documented in the Carbon documentation... Unfortunately, it's at a much lower level that AppleScript and I don't know of any way of doing in in an AppleScript-based app, only a Carbon app.
Apple docs sometimes refer to the icons on icons as badges, search on that. There are Cocoa calls for this, so a Studio app should be able to set them, but I doubt you make an applescript directly set the badge for another application. You might also want to check the archives of the AppleScript Studio list.

Good luck having this survive the list server:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/ OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGHowEnvAffects/chapter_7_section_3.html#//apple_ref/ doc/uid/20000957-CH294-TPXREF102>

From the URL above:
Cocoa: To modify an application or document Dock tile, use the setApplicationIcon: method of the NSApplication class or the setMiniWindowImage: method of the NSWindow class.

I recall seeing far more detailed documentation in the past, but not the specific URLs.
