I would prefer:
<name type="personal" authority="naf" script="Arab" lang="ara">
<namePart>
<version script="Arabic">طوسي، نصير الدين محمد بن محمد</version>
<version script="Latin" transliterationStandard="?">Ṭūsī, Naṣīr al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad</version>
</namePart>
<role>
<roleTerm authority="marcrelator" type="code">aut</roleTerm>
</role>
</name>
In this way: a) no (even more) privileged position for the Latin script, b) the transliteration standard is revealed.
