I thought I recall seeing this as a feature in that article. I'm not quite sure now. If I am wrong, sorry for the confusion.

By looking at the history (01:28, 5 January 2013‎) I found what I explained in my previous comment. But that must have been a mistake by the editors.

Trivia

Daylight Sensors only work by sunlight and cannot be activated by other light sources such as luminescent blocks or torches.
Covering the Daylight Sensor and blocking out all light will turn the sensor into a night-time detector instead of a daytime detector.
Daylight Sensors are less than a slab tall, which is like redstone repeaters, redstone comparators and trapdoors.
A daylight sensor connected to a dispenser via redstone wire will cause the dispenser to fire every time the light level changes.

@David Morris: Was this a guess of you or do you have any sources ? (At least in http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Daylight_Sensor this bug is noticed)

Intended. When the daylight detector is completely blocked from sunlight/moonlight, the function becomes inverted. e.g at daytime it powers off and at night it powers on.
