Also for a business, in the US, 'revenue' corresponds to something
like total sales (I think British English calls this 'turnover') while
'income' is revenues minus expenses, but usage varies quite a bit.

This is essentially correct. For the US Income Tax support in gnucash,
each tax code that can be assigned to an account generally corresponds
to a specific line number on a paper form and each form has a unique
identification (e.g., Form 1040, Schedule A). However, the line number
on a given form tends to vary from year to year. To make it easy to
map a users gnucash data to US Income Tax forms, the US Income Tax
Report sorts and totals the amounts by line number within tax form.
The system has, and displays on the Tax Information Dialog, the data
showing for each year what form and line number on that form a given
tax code is associated with - the heading on the dialog for this block
of displayed data is "Form Line Data". This data is displayed so that
when a user is doing the tax code assignment to an account, it can be
referenced to help understand what the tax code refers to.

That is correct. "Form" refers to the paper tax form, "Code" to the
tax code assigned in the Tax Information Dialog, and "Tax Type" to the
type of tax entity (e.g., individual, corporation, partnership). These
are messages displayed on the account tab if the Tax Info column is
displayed.
