How does DTLS handle datagrams containing application data that are lost 
or delivered out of order? 
The draft seems to indicate that only handshake messages are subject to 
re-transmission, timeouts, and re-ordering. 

That's correct. The philosophy here is to provide an interface that's
as much like that provided by normal datagram transport protocols as
possible. Those protocols don't take care of this stuff for application
data, so neither does DTLS.
