For the simplest cases, yes, but even there you could easily find oddities with things like cancellation, bubbling, timing with regards to other events, support for various element types, etc.

Here's a whole list just for click, which is probably the most standardized event handler, and doesn't even go back before the IE5.5 era:

to double down, touch events on mobile browsers are in a different order than mouse event in regards of onclicks, so that a touchend and mouseup fire at the opposite side of the click event on some mobile browser but not all.
