Any data value that you might use as a DB key. SSN is a standard
example; I seem to recall that Dan was using 2 character string valued
state codes for US states.

The answer is that you can assert any range and domain you like (as
usual), but of course if you assert domain(S C) and range(S D) for a
symmetric property S, then this is logically equivalent to asserting
domain(S intersectionOf(C D)) and range(S intersectionOf(C D)).

One can't - one has to repeat the whole list plus the new
"distinctMembers".
