		Magnetic north is of interest because it is the direction indicated as north on a properly functioning (but uncorrected) magnetic compass.
		Thus the choice of the north as corresponding to up in the northern hemisphere, or of south in that role in the southern, is, prior to world-wide communication, anything but an arbitrary one.
