Is it possible to extract the normalized Event object and use it outside of jQuery?

This is a random question.  I'm in a situation where my script can't depend on the full jQuery lib.  But it would be nice to extract and use the normalized jquery.Event object.  It prevents a lot of cross-browser compatibility boilerplate.  Is this possible, advisable, allowed?
