Working at the module level in Drupal, creating queries with spatial operators for Views. Basically, Drupal's GeoField module stores geoms as "bytea", which the PostGIS functions seem to handle quite nicely without a cast. Ultimately, I will push to have the database column in GeoField created as a "Geometry" type in order to be certain not to cause problems with PostGIS functions. But for the moment, I am trying to assess the likelihood that some PostGIS function somewhere actually relies upon something that's baked into the Geometry type. I am focused on basic relationship operators like contains, within, overlaps and intersects.
