Just wondering if you considered Spivak pronouns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spivak_pronoun) - and if you did, what about them you found less desirable than the Xe set?
Of all the genderless pronoun sets I've looked at, ey/em/eir seems more "natural" to me, being derived from the plural pronouns. And because of that, I have an unsubstantiated feeling that if someone unaware of the concept ran across them... they'd be more understandable in context. I think someone unfamiliar with them would probably see them as an odd typo and get the intended meaning.
