According to someone named Thomas Brand, burning is easy:
1. Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Mac running Snow Leopard.
2. Right click on "Mac OS X Lion" installer and choose the option to "Show Package Contents".
3. Inside the Contents folder that appears you will find a SharedSupport folder, and inside the SharedSupport folder you will find the "InstallESD.dmg". This is the boot disk we've all been waiting for.
4. Copy "InstallESD.dmg" to another folder, like the Desktop.
5. Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button.
6. Select the copied "InstallESD.dmg" as the image to burn. Insert a standard 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot Disk to come out toasty hot.
