Well, shapefiles may not support styling or then they do. Read page 15 of
the document
http://latuviitta.org/documents/Geospatial_PDF_maps_from_OSM_with_GDAL.pdf
There I show how it is possible to use OGR_STYLES with shapefiles and
convert the result into a geospatial PDF map.

I would rather say that only a few software support styling vector data with
OGR_STYLES.
