   I'd have to dig more...this below seems to suggest caffeine affects   
   bladder's smooth muscle...but if this is the only effect, it would not   
   be a diuretic.   
      
      
   "Caffeine is a diuretic which means that it results in an increase in   
   frequency of urination. It can also increase the urge to urinate   
   if consumed in excessive amounts. ...Caffeine is thought to have a   
   direct effect on the bladder's smooth muscle. "
