Tie schemes to the 'sensitive' floor: refine it, emit both

- schemes/README.md: note the wire vocabulary (sensitive) is the lowest-common-
  denominator floor and schemes refine it; producers are encouraged to emit both.
- schemes/data-class.md: add an explicit emit-both guideline in graceful
  degradation; correct the changelog date 2026-06-17 -> 2026-06-16.

@ -4,7 +4,10 @@ A **scheme** is a concrete data-labelling or tool-annotation approach that fills
the [`trust-annotations`](../specification/draft/trust-annotations.mdx)
`evidenceRef` slot under an `evidenceRef.type` value. The extension defines a
small, stable wire vocabulary and an open `type` pointer; a scheme defines the
richer, out-of-band record that pointer resolves to.
richer, out-of-band record that pointer resolves to. The wire vocabulary (notably
`sensitive`) is a lowest-common-denominator floor every client can act on;
schemes refine it for hosts that implement them, and a server that can classify
more precisely is encouraged to emit **both** the floor and a scheme record.
Schemes are **not** extensions and **not** siblings of the extensions. They are
interchangeable: a deployment can adopt one, several, or none, and can swap them
