The mean-field temperature (T) dependence of the magnetic penetration depth lambda(T) of the paired charged-boson-soliton (holon) superconductor is calculated in the London limit. It is found that the dependence of lambda(T)/lambda(0) on T/T/sub c/ is almost a universal function, and is in good agreement with that observed by Cooper et al. for YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub delta/. It is also stressed that the specific heat, C/sub v/(T), of the holon superconductor is linear in T for all but the lowest temperatures (T<
