No, VDUs are a pass/throw result only, no modification allowed. You might be able to fake this by sending your DELETEs to a custom update handler, and some jigery pokery to prevent normal document DELETEs being accepted within the VDU apart from via your update handler; not sure if that's possible though so your fallback would be blocking inbound DELETEs using a reverse proxy.
