Samples:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:petach-tikva-gp#sho rpl unused as-path
Sat Oct  8 20:03:22.975 IDT

ACTIVE -- Referenced by at least one policy which is attached
INACTIVE -- Only referenced by policies which are not attached
UNUSED -- Not attached (directly or indirectly) and not referenced

The following as-path-sets are UNUSED
------------------------------------------
    aspath_191_p1_permit
P/0/RSP0/CPU0:petach-tikva-gp#sho rpl unused prefix

INACTIVE -- Only referenced by policies which are not attached
UNUSED -- Not attached (directly or indirectly) and not referenced

The following prefix-sets are UNUSED
------------------------------------------
    aspath_191_permit
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:petach-tikva-gp#sho rpl unused comm 
Sat Oct  8 20:04:20.953 IDT

P/0/RSP0/CPU0:petach-tikva-gp#sho rpl unused rout
Sat Oct  8 20:05:22.857 IDT

ACTIVE -- Referenced by at least one policy which is attached
INACTIVE -- Only referenced by policies which are not attached
UNUSED -- Not attached (directly or indirectly) and not referenced

The following policies are (UNUSED)
------------------------------------------
    GEANT-QoS
    tagIIXroutes

Note the sloppy code - sometimes they state UNUSED and sometimes
(UNUSED).  Or "the following policies are"... rather than "the following
routing policies are".  Just plain sloppy Cisco coding and poor QA.  And
once you delete these unreferenced objects, "show rpl unused" will still
show them since there is a bug in Cisco code (CSCuy07932/CSCug9153). See:

for details.
