 The problem is it would be like installing from a CD *without a CD*. 
Which is confusing. It's like explaining wireless telegraphy by 
saying: "Telegraphy is like a dog whose tail is in Munich, and whose 
head is in Tokyo. Pinch it in the tail in Munich and it barks in 
Tokyo. Wireless telegraphy is the same without the dog."

 I've heard enough complaints about it, and witnessed enough silent 
suffering. That's why Apple now has so-called "internet-enabled" disk 
images, which mount themselves, copy their contents to the hard disk, 
unmount themselves and then delete the image.
