Ben,

I can confirm that the OGR shapefile driver supports "random update"
of features, including deletion.  You may find you need to repack
the dataset occationally as some space may be lost track of when
deleting or rewriting features.  Hopefully the shapefile driver page
addresses the repack option, otherwise drop me a line.

I also try to prepare a downloadable copy of the documentation / website
for each release, so you can grab:
