It helps if I have an example. I guess you're suggesting:
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">John</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
<alternateForm script="whatever" lang="whatever">
<namePart type="given">XXX</namePart>
<namePart type="family">YYY</namePart>
</alternateForm>
</name>
... ?
