Using event handlers on document before the DOM is loaded

Would it be ok to add an ajaxStop() event handler to the document before the DOM is loaded? It isn't related to any DOM elements, so as far as I can tell it shouldn't matter. Am I right?

$(document).ajaxStop(function () {
    console.log('ajax complete');     
});

vs

$(function(){

    $(document).ajaxStop(function () {
        console.log('ajax complete');     
    });

});

$(function(){}) is actually shorthand for $(document).ready(function(){}).

So, by using $(function(){}) you already are binding an event to document before the DOM is ready.

By that logic, it's fine to bind ajaxStop to document before the DOM is ready.
