The definitions given on this page seem much too limited. A probability distribution can be defined for random variables whose domain is not even ordered (take the multinomial, for instance). In these cases, the cumulative distribution function makes no sense. To claim, as this page does, that the distribution must have the reals as the domain is nonsense.
