Calculating monster XP

A question about calculating XP.

I am converting the nymph from AD&D, which casts spells like a 7th level druid. How does that translate to XP?
Should I treat it all as one Major Ability (spells 4th - 6h level), or as one Major and one Minor?
Or maybe even 9 Minor and 1 Major?

The ogre mage has a wide range of spells. Fly, invisibility, alter self, charm person, wraithform, cone of cold, and darkness. Flight is one Minor Ability, but should I treat all the others as a single Major ability, one Major and one Minor, or even two Major and four Minor ones?

The amount of XP would change very significantly based on which system used, especially for the ogre mage, who could be as low as 580xp or as high as 940xp.

Which do you think would be best to use?

I'd think one minor, one major for the dryad; two minor one major for the ogre mage?

Re: Calculating monster XP

That would have been my intuitive call as well.
