From a theoretical perspective, they both scale exactly the same. To wit:
a two level hierarchy, with SPF within each level. Given ideal conditions,
one could reasonably build a 160,000 router network with either protocol
today without too much difficulty (400 nodes per area).
From a practical perspective, the implementation differences and topology
issues dominate their practical applicability.
Both can and will be extended, both for scalability and for features. The
only question is how the extensions get defined.
