[f-nsp] show ip[v6] bgp ?

In troubleshooting what I believe is a bug in 5.4.0d in which an IPv6 route 
claims to be advertised to peers but is not received by those peers, I think 
I've found another issue that's more of a feature change than bug. But I'm 
curious, in the output of show ip bgp route detail, there are two sections near 
the end of the output...

"Route is advertised to X peers:" is pretty clear in what it means.

"Route is to be sent to Y peers:" I can't find any documentation saying what 
this means...and I'm curious, what does this mean?

The above mentioned bug was that an ipv6 route for which there was a network 
statement and static route to null0, the show ipv6 bgp route detail output said 
that the route was being advertised to a subset of the peers the config should 
have caused it to be sent to.  Those peers were not actually receiving the 
route.  Removing and re-adding the static route to null0 caused the route to be 
advertised to (and received by) all the peers that should have been getting it. 
This was seen on an XMR-16 that had been upgraded from 5.2.0 to 5.4.0 just a 
week or so prior.
