This is great, thanks!

Perhaps the following elisp snippet on the orgmode.org/elpa page

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (package-initialize)    ;; Initialize Package
    (require 'org-install)  ;; Initialize Org
    ;; (setq org-...)       ;; Custom settings

should be expanded to

    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
    (package-initialize)    ;; Initialize & Install Package
    (unless package-archive-contents (package-refresh-contents))
    (unless (package-installed-p 'org) (package-install 'org))
    (require 'org-install)  ;; Initialize Org
    ;; (setq org-...)       ;; Custom settings
