Do you reckon that this is because of a lack of resource about the subject or because it's usually overlooked?
I haven't checked any available manuals, so I can't say whether proper position is addressed in any detail. But it's very counterintuitive, and certainly different from the finger positioning you're used to if you ever played a recorder flute at school.
Another problem is that my teacher was left-handed (like me) and invented his own positioning system, which made it harder to follow lessons from any other source. I talked about this with my teacher's teacher and it was quite the eye-opener.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
