Section 1.1 says:
The maximum user message size is 2^14 bytes, which is the DTLS limit.
It should say:
The maximum user message size is limited by the DTLS implementation.
Notes:
TLS and DTLS handshake messages can be quite large (in theory up to 2^24-1 bytes, in practice many kilobytes).

--VERIFIER NOTES--
The citation in the note clearly refers to handshake messages, not application data records. RFC 4347 and draft-ietf-tls-dtls13 clearly state that the limit is 2^14.
