Benefits and Disadvantages of Un-typed Notification Bodies

I've been working on a PureMVC/AS3 port multi-core Flex application for about a year and the project has been winding down, so at a recent interview, I touted PureMVC as a great MVC framework.
The company I will possibly be hired to consult is still teetering between PureMVC and Cairngorm. I found myself having to defend and explain several of the architectural elements withing PureMVC. I wasn't completely satisfied with some of my answers...
Can someone explain what are the benefits of un-typed notification bodies and how to combat dis-advantages?
How do others deal with runtime related errors, for example, if a developer passes the wrong object in the body of a notification.

You can of course extend Notification or write new INotification classes.
The advantage to me is that I can push around notifications with the convenient sendNotification method. I also don't have to create 40 or 50 different Notification classes to cover the entire model. It is nice to know that I could if necessary though.
I type check my notification bodies on the receiver side and throw an Error if it is wrong. Not as convenient as compile time type checking, but it is effective.

Hi folks,
This question looks like a FAQ candidate.
For now, the canonical answer lies in the following post:
