If you download an org distribution (through git or a tar file or what
have you), you should be able to find the doc/org.texi file which is
used to generate the manual.

The following page

   
http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Output-Formats.html#Output-Formats

describes briefly how to produce each output format from the texi file.

Somebody reported that a few days ago: I guess it has not been fixed
yet.

Follow the link called "Generating HTML" in the above page to find
out how to generate HTML output in a single page (the input file
is doc/orgguide.texi).

But I don't know whether the single page document ever was (or should
be) available from the orgmode site, so I'm not sure I'd characterize is
as "missing": Matt and/or Jason would know better.
