OK, someone showed me how. You can press the Power button (while the phone is unlocked), hold it for a few seconds and a Phone Options menu will pop up. On that menu is a "Power off" selection.
 
Is it really that hard to press the power button versus the optical joystick? Either way you've got two choices here, No Lock from the market, or use a one button root like unRevoked and install the joystick wake patch.

I didn't think it was going to be that big a deal, but installed the patch anyway, and its actually kind of nice to wake it on a table from the front.
 
To power on the phone you have to long press the power button. If you tap the power button quickly, and the phone does not wake, then it is off.

A quick tap of the power button is all mine takes to power on. No long press necessary.
