"But then you have composers like Andrew Lloyd Webber writing "Do You Hear the People Sing" in the dotted rhythm with the instruction at the top of the song to play and sing the dotted figures with triplet rhythm (i.e. swing but without the accent shift)."

That's actually written by Claude-Michel Schonberg - it's more of a 6/8 march if anything, or even a folk song as a lot of folk songs are in 6/8.
