Handshake isn’t parallel, but instead, it’s a drop in replacement for ICANN that is controlled by the people. All existing TLDs continue to function as they did prior.

If it is an exact mirror with no differences, there is no reason to use it. Either it will start to diverge, or it is pointless for it to exist.

It will absolutely diverge, although it’s probable that ICANN will likely continue to mirror the Handshake Naming System on their end.
