Worse than that. I do not believe Gnucash can do "automated sale tax" at 
all -- not in the sense that a POS system can. Gnucash can do "automated 
sales tax" when this is simple (special case).

For example, you are selling "widgets" -- where exactly would gnucash be 
storing the information widgets of type A are taxable and widgets of 
type B not when being sent to a delivery address in jurisdiction X vs 
jurisdiction Y.

As soon as you say "you can mark the line in the invoice" I say that is 
"manual", not "automated". And even if you did want to call that 
"automated" because it calculated the tax for you, how about if not just 
"non-taxed" vs "taxable" but "non-taxed" vs "taxable at rate X", 
"taxable at rate Y", etc.
