It certainly isn't explicit.

I took section of angling the oboe as advise on how to position the oboe to have proper access to the reed, much akin to a flutist turning their head out and in for optimal position.

But this is what Sprenkle has to say on articulation and attack in regards to reed placment when you put it all together:

Quote:


The tongue should be carefully oriented so that its tip lies in the V formed by the reed and lower lip and touches the lower blade just under the tip of the reed, with the its tip stopping the tone by lightly touching the corner of the reed. In any case, tonguing squarely on the opening should be avoided.


Sprenkle goes into solving "ut" and "tha" problems using breath support, embouchure, and positioning the tongue for minimal distortion of air flow... but no special tonguing considerations.

Even in sections of tone, fast passages, staccatos, and phrasing... no further mention of tonguing technique is mentioned. It's all air and embouchure.
