What privileges are required to create XMLIndex in somebody else's schema?

Question

Hi,
I'm logged in as "system as sysdba" and trying to create an XMLIndex in another schema called "eventschema". The command fails with "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges". How come I can create a relational index in eventschema, but not an XMLIndex? What privilege does system or eventschema need? I granted UNLIMITED_TABLESPACE to eventschema already, but that did not solve the problem.

Are you really really sure... because the following works with the XMLTAB xmltype table still in place in the DANIELLA schema...
