The cork must project a small distance above the wood shoulders else it could not be compressed when assembled to provide an airtight joint and sufficient friction to keep the joints together.
How much to project is mainly governed by the quality of the cork (suppleness and compressibilty) and also by the depth of the tenon groove. A deeper groove requires more cork above the shoulders to compensate.

Yes some people do like a barrel shaped cork but in my experience a nearly parallel cork but with bevelled edges is more satisfactory.
